iBio, a renowned New York based biotechnology firm, reportedly launched FastGlycaneering Development Service™, that includes a range of new glycosylation technologies to power high-performance recombinant protein production.

Using iBio’s plant-based manufacturing platform, biosimilar producers and biopharmaceutical innovators would be able to leverage low cost oligomannose modification capabilities, afucosylation controls, and conventional glycosylation techniques to develop novel antibody therapeutics, biosimilars and high-quality biobetters.

Tom Isett, a member of Board of Directors, iBio, reportedly stated that combining the speed of iBio’s FastPharming Manufacturing System™ with the advanced glycan engineering technologies creates a more effective and efficient alternative of producing biopharmaceuticals in cell-based mammalian systems or CHO. Isett further added that Dr. Sylvain Marcel, VP of Protein Expression Sciences is likely to unlock iBio’s N. benthamiana expression system with these innovations.

Robert B. Kay, CEO and Chairman, iBio, reportedly stated that the company has taken another step with proven results in the manufacturing of growth factors, virus-like particles, biologics, fusion proteins and monoclonal antibodies. The company is thrilled to present new services of FastGlycaneering during the Antibody Engineering & Therapeutics meeting held in San Diego, CA, during a talk.
