Viral Vectors
The Curia Vector Technology group offers a comprehensive suite of viral vector and cell engineering services, which cover vector engineering, process development, scale-up production, and analytical development.
Viral vector platforms include Baculovirus, AAV, and Lentivirus. The cell engineering team performs stable cell line development and clone isolation for the production of recombinant proteins utilizing viral transduction and transfection methodologies. The team has experience with a large variety of cell types, including CAR-T, and a host of other cell lines derived from various tissues.
