The company took the occasion of the BIO International Convention in San Diego to announce the launch.<\/p>\n<p>The platform unites three core modalities, adeno-associated virus (AAV), adenoviral, and lentiviral vectors, under one offering. SK pharmteco says this gives therapeutics developers the flexibility to leverage custom and regulatory-ready solutions meeting their programs\u2019 unique requirements.<\/p>\n<p>Talking with SK pharmteco at BIO<\/p>\n<p>At BIO 2026,\u00a0Contract Pharma\u00a0spoke with SK pharmteco\u2019s John Lee, PhD. Lee is a company Vice President and Head of the Cell &amp; Gene Therapy Business Unit.<\/p>\n<p>Lee emphasized that the launch integrates development capabilities between North America and Europe. The platform is available at SK pharmteco\u2019s United States and European facilities.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt is particularly attractive for those customers who are looking to globalize their therapies,\u201d Lee said.<\/p>\n<p>He added that SK pharmteco, like many other companies right now, is concentrating on harmonizing its standards across multiple continents. That can often be a challenge.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDifferent sites have different platform processes that then become difficult to transfer from one geography to another,\u201d Lee said. \u201cIt\u2019s not impossible, but it typically slows things down.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Tech Specs for SKyvec<\/p>\n<p>Breaking down SKyvec\u2019s technical specifications, upstream process development is conducted at scales up to 200 L. This aligns fully with good manufacturing practice (GMP) with scale-up to 500-L and 1000-L bioreactors.<\/p>\n<p>The suspension-based upstream platforms provide maximum scalability, but an adherent AAV platform remains available.<\/p>\n<p>According to Lee, this flexibility supports developers from early research through clinical supply and commercial manufacturing.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt really gives our customers additional confidence that you can come in low-cost, low-risk, [and] check us out,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Why This Matters: Check out all our BIO 2026 coverage here.
