Modalities
ATMP
Advanced Therapy Medical Products (ATMP) have immense potential to transform the lives of patients with genetic diseases. Repligen partners with developers and manufacturers, providing technology breakthroughs and high impact solutions for plasmid and viral vector development and manufacturing.
As demand for plasmids and viral vectors outpace capacity, a greater than 10-fold and potentially close to 100-fold increase in manufacturing efficiency for the gene therapy reagents is likely required to meet demand that is increasing exponentially.
Repligen solutions aim to meet the needs for optimized processes, higher yields, and improved process quality - setting new standards for modern scalable processes from gene to therapy. Repligen also offers hands-on process and implementation consultation led by recognized Gene Therapy, oncolytic and vaccines industry experts.
Viral Vectors
Adeno-associated virus (AAV) is the most common viral vector used in gene therapy bioprocessing. Other viral vectors include adenovirus, lentivirus, retrovirus, oncolytic virus, and virus-based vaccines.
pDNA
Plasmid DNA (pDNA) is a critical raw material delivery template for the development and production of mRNA or viral vectors such as lentivirus and adeno-associated virus (AAV) vectors.
mRNA
With the proven success of mRNA-based vaccines in addressing the COVID-19 pandemic, mRNA technology is at the forefront of transforming the world of medicine. Clinical trials are ongoing to develop both vaccines and therapies to treat infectious diseases and even cancer.
