Partners
Avectas have entered into a collaboration agreement with Inceptor Bio to improve the development and manufacturing of next-generation CAR-T cell therapies for the treatment of solid tumors. Under the agreement, Inceptor will utilize Avectas’ SOLUPORE® technology as an alternative to electroporation for engineering T cells with the goal to yield a healthier T cell product. Avectas’ SOLUPORE® technology is well suited to Inceptor Bio’s CAR-T cell process, which aims to improve the quality of the engineered T cells, and ultimately, enhance their durability in the tumor microenvironment. By combining Avectas’ SOLUPORE® delivery with Inceptor Bio’s CAR-T cell therapy platform, the engineered cells have the potential for improved performance and efficacy. Read more
GenScript and Avectas Team Up to Improve the Non-Viral Cell Therapy Manufacturing Process. The two biotech leaders have embarked on a research project to streamline manufacturing of non-viral CRISPR gene editing components; the goal is to improve the editing efficiency and cell viability of non-viral based cell therapies. The two companies share a goal of providing their customers with potent, new methods for developing cell therapies that offer an improved safety profile over viral and non-viral vector techniques. By combining Avectas’ cell engineering technology and know-how with GenScript’s expertise in synthetic long oligo production, the partnership aims to demonstrate a novel and efficient solution for cell therapy manufacturing and to improve editing efficiency and cell viability over traditional delivery methods.
