Viral Vector Technology Services
1. Platform Overview
Viral vectors are indispensable core tools in gene function research, gene therapy, cell therapy, and vaccine development. After decades of engineering refinement, viral vectors represented by AAV, lentivirus, and adenovirus have evolved beyond laboratory instruments to become central components of clinical-grade therapeutic products — more than 30 gene therapy drugs utilizing viral vectors as their delivery core have received regulatory approval worldwide.
We specialize in the engineering design, scalable manufacturing, and quality control of viral vectors, with deep expertise across lentiviral, AAV, adenoviral, and novel virus-like particle technologies. Backed by a comprehensive service portfolio spanning seven vector platforms, we provide end-to-end CRO/CDMO services — from plasmid construction through GMP batch release — for academic institutions, biotechnology companies, and multinational pharmaceutical enterprises. A complete Certificate of Analysis (COA) is issued for every batch, ensuring full traceability and data integrity.
