Aldevron, the world’s leading biomanufacturer of plasmid DNA, mRNA and proteins, is expanding its commercial leadership with the addition of Beth Thompson-Webb as Chief Commercial Officer and Todd Howren as Vice President of Sales.
Gene and cell therapy developers are contending with the implications of the evolving regulatory environment while trying to progress programs as quickly as possible to address unmet needs and secure first-mover advantage in competitive indications. Regulators are facilitating efforts to truncate development timelines through a series of designations that can expedite programs while also making efforts to implement standardization.
Genome editing enzymes such as Cas9 have been successfully employed to target different genetic disorders in model systems, and ex vivo approaches have demonstrated the clinical potential of this technology. However, the challenge of delivering such corrective enzymes in vivo represents a substantial barrier to therapeutic translation.
Viral vectors—refined during their use in traditional gene therapy—represent the most widely-used delivery platform in preclinical work, and nanoparticles are quickly maturing into a comparably powerful vehicle. Direct delivery of pre-formed CRISPR enzymes has recently emerged as an appealing strategy for enabling therapeutic editing in vivo.
Aldevron is excited to share an update on our partner's progress regarding their AAVCOVID vaccine program. Mass Eye and Ear's novel gene-based vaccine strategy utilizes an adeno-associated virus (AAV) vector.
Aldevron recently announced its upcoming virtual ribbon cutting event, which will take place on Wednesday, February 10 at 12:00 PM CST. Its focus will be the company's investments in key areas, expanding Aldevron's ability to enable clients' breakthroughs in the emerging field of genetic medicine, further impacting patients and achieving the company's mission.
Aldevron, a global leader in the custom development and manufacture of plasmid DNA, proteins and mRNA for the biotech industry, announced today the addition of three reporter Self-amplifying RNA (saRNA) products to its growing catalog: AldGFP saRNA™, AldSEAP saRNA™ and AldnLUC saRNA™.
Aldevron announced today the immediate availability of rep/cap plasmids pALD-AAV2, AAV5 and AAV6 to support AAV viral vector manufacturing. All three rep/cap plasmids are immediately available at Research Grade. Additionally, pALD-AAV6 is immediately available at the GMP-Source® quality level, while pALD-AAV2 and pALD-AAV5 will be made available based on market demand. The plasmids are royalty free for all applications in support of pre-clinical activities through clinical development and commercial production.
The Joint Session of the State of North Dakota’s 67th Legislative Assembly held its opening sessions earlier this week, and featured Governor Doug Burgum’s 2021 State of the State address. Burgum reflected on the progress and challenges of the past year, calling for bold action and investments in infrastructure and other priorities to position the state for a bright future.
Aldevron, a global leader in the manufacture of plasmid DNA, mRNA and proteins, announced the appointment of Matt Johnson as Vice President of Information Technologies (IT). In this newly-created executive role, Johnson will lead the IT team to ensure successful implementation and operation of key technology strategies.
