Core Research Labs
We drive innovation in protein design by bringing all aspects of protein and peptide production, characterization, and process development under one roof. From pilot expression to cGMP-compatible manufacturing, our Core Research Labs expand the impact of our faculty, trainees, and collaborators. These services are not available for external contract work.
