Building the right production system from the start

The right production system lays the foundation for product quality, productivity, and scalable manufacturing.

We develop and optimize mammalian cell lines and microbial strains across CHO, HEK293, bacterial, and yeast expression systems. From de novo development to the transfer of established production systems, our approach connects expression strategy with process development, analytics, banking, scale-up, and cGMP manufacturing.

Mammalian Cell Line Development

We develop stable mammalian production systems for monoclonal antibodies, bispecific and multispecific antibodies, fusion proteins, recombinant proteins, and other complex biologics.

Our CHO-based platform combines high-throughput screening, clone selection, analytical characterization, and stability assessment to identify production cell lines with the quality and performance required for scalable manufacturing.

Platform highlights

  • CHO-K1 cell line development using advanced transposon technology
  • High-throughput screening and single-cell cloning
  • Bulk pool titers demonstrated up to 7 g/L
  • Clonal titers demonstrated above 10 g/L for IgG molecules
  • Integrated transition into process development and manufacturing

Microbial Strain Development

Our bacterial and yeast strain development capabilities support recombinant proteins and other microbial-derived biologics.

We develop stable producer strains with product quality, productivity, robustness, and scalability in view from the outset, connecting strain development directly with fermentation and downstream process development.

Programs can also enter with an established client-owned strain for transfer, optimization, and scale-up.

Capabilities

  • Strain engineering for bacterial and yeast systems
  • Flexible host selection (standard or client strains)
  • Scalable process design for robust manufacturing

Frequently asked questions
