Manufacturing New Biologics, At Scale

GMP Drug Substance Manufacturing for FIH and Clinical Resupply Programs

 

After becoming the first CMO in the world to implement the 2000L scale Xcellerex™ single-use bioreactor at our Durham, NC, USA site, KBI Biopharma immediately began delivering GMP Drug Substance supplying FIH (First in Human) and clinical resupply programs.

In 2014, our proven track record for drug substance delivery facilitated mammalian clinical manufacturing suite space expansion, adding another Seed Expansion, 500L→2000L bioreactor train, and purification suite.

In 2022, we expanded our cGMP mammalian clinical manufacturing capabilities within our site in Geneva, Switzerland, mirroring the Seed Expansion, 500L→2000L bioreactor train, and purification suite.
