VecTUs

Research-grade BioVector production service

The National Horizons Centre is excited to launch VecTUs.

Services offered to accelerate the development of gene therapies:

  • Design & manufacture of constructs for packaging into rAAV vectors
  • Manufacture of research-grade rAAV vectors using suspension cells for proof-of-concept in vivo studies

At the early-stage of development, non-GMP grade rAAV vectors are generally produced using adherent cells. Upon scale-up towards clinical trial testing, the need for GMP grade high titre vectors necessitates a switch to suspension cells for production.

This often results in requirement of re-optimisation of the gene therapy candidate, which can be costly and an inefficient use of time.

Building on our experience of developing gene therapies that are now in clinical trial, our new service removes the need for re-optimisation.

This is because we use suspension cells to produce affordable research-grade vectors for your early proof-of-concept studies. This accelerates the translation of products to clinic, resulting in a saving on development costs overall.

Using high-spec technical equipment, we are removing the need for re-optimisation of gene therapy vectors upon scale-up, whilst enabling affordable and clinically relevant proof-of-concept studies.
