Gene therapy holds promise for improving the lives of people with genetic diseases. To enable effective adoption of these novel therapies, there is a need to develop scalable, cost-effective methods for viral vector production. However, current processes for manufacturing gene therapy products are not standardized.

Teknova partners with you to develop and optimize your gene therapy production workflow from upstream plasmid production and cell culture through downstream purification and final production (Figure 1).
