Clinical Mammalian

After becoming the first CMO in the world to implement the 2000L scale Xcellerex™ single-use bioreactor at our Durham, NC, USA site, KBI Biopharma immediately began delivering GMP Drug Substance supplying FIH (First in Human) and clinical resupply programs.

In 2014, our proven track record for drug substance delivery facilitated manufacturing suite space expansion, adding another Seed Expansion, 500L→2000L bioreactor train, and purification suite.

In 2022, KBI expanded our clinical mammalian cGMP manufacturing capabilities within our site in Geneva, Switzerland, mirroring the Seed Expansion, 500L→2000L bioreactor train, and purification suite.
