EV Biologics has been developing nanotherapeutic-producer cells and optimizing a process for isolation of primary cells from tissue and expansion of cell banks using defined cell culture conditions. The Company is very pleased to announce that advancing its relationship with Lonza will accelerate development and implementation of rigorous upstream and downstream biomanufacturing processes that will facilitate production of more consistent nanotherapeutic candidates.
CEO, Daniel Mckinney, said “We are very excited to enter the next phase of our business relationship with Lonza, the world’s premier biomanufacturing firm for further process development. This represents a significant step toward our goal of developing high-quality nanotherapeutics for a broad range of clinical conditions. Furthermore, we are maximizing our resources and multiplying our efficiency by leveraging the assets of best-in-class partners like Lonza, rather than investing tens of millions in our own physical infrastructure for laboratory and manufacturing facilities.”
