Viral Vector manufacturing and testing

Advancing Cell and Gene Therapies for Patients

Millipore® CTDMO Services delivers expertise and flexible solutions for viral vector development and manufacturing to advance cell and gene therapies from preclinical through commercial production.

Our proficiency with adeno-associated virus (AAV), lentivirus, adenovirus, and other vectors helps streamline the development and manufacturing of cell and gene therapies. From early preclinical through clinical and commercial manufacturing, we offer the comprehensive resources, capabilities, and know-how to advance current and future cell and gene therapies to market.

Our track record includes successful regulatory inspections by the U.S. Food & Drug Administration (FDA), the European Medicines Agency (EMA), Health Canada, the Pharmaceuticals and Medical Devices Agency (PMDA) of Japan, the Australian Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA), and the Brazilian Health Regulatory Agency (ANVISA).

From Preclinical through Commercialization

Our viral vector experts are dedicated to helping your advance your viral gene therapy from pre-clinical through commercial production, backed by a superior regulatory track record. In fact, we’ve supported 4 out of the 13 commercially FDA-approved cell and gene therapy products from pre-IND to commercial supply.

Identify and evaluate process improvements to accelerate production timelines

Manufacturability Assessment

Our viral vector experts work with our clients to identify and evaluate improvements to current processes in order to streamline therapeutic production, address risk, and accelerate cell and gene therapies to the clinic. Through our Manufacturability Assessment, we:

  • Incorporate platform technologies for streamlined, scalable production
  • Review critical process parameters (CPPs) and critical quality attributes (CQAs)
  • Recommend adjustments in process design and testing requirements
  • Address other potential risks such as or raw material constraints

Viral Vector Platforms

We are dedicated to accelerating the development timelines for cell and gene therapies. Discover how we leverage our over 25 years of experience, knowledge and expertise in viral vector development and manufacturing to provide a de-risked, reproducible and streamlined path to clinical and commercial manufacturing through our viral vector platforms.
