Gene therapy and cell therapy technologies promise to treat a wide variety of diseases, such as cancer, cystic fibrosis, and hemophilia. Equipped with advanced genomic analysis tools and years of experience of working with clients engaged in GMP manufacturing, pre-clinical safety study, and clinical trials, Avance Biosciences™ offers a series of services that support our clients’ efforts in gene therapy and cell therapy.

Non-clinical and clinical studies that evaluate pharmacokinetic (ADME) and toxicology characteristics are necessary to determine the safety and efficacy of CGT products. Studies on gene vector and transgene biodistribution (BD), gene expression, protein expression, viral shedding, vector integration, and other areas are crucial for CGT preclinical and clinical research. Finding a reliable testing partner is obviously essential to ensuring that a CGT program successfully launches.

The Avance Biosciences™ team has more than three decades of experience providing biological testing services to support cell and gene therapy (CGT) development and manufacturing. Our expertise in real-time PCR, digital droplet PCR (ddPCR), next-generation sequencing (NGS), and many other molecular biology, cell biology, and microbiology tools enable us to provide testing solutions that bolster our clients’ CGT programs. We specialize in assay development, assay qualification or validation, and sample testing that complies with GLP and CGMP regulations.

Biodistribution
DNA Assays

Studies on gene vector and transgene biodistribution, gene expression, protein expression, viral shedding, vector integration, and other areas are crucial for cell and gene therapy preclinical and clinical research. Avance Biosciences™ offers GLP compliant quantitative real-time PCR (qPCR) services to accurately assess the quantity of gene therapy vectors (DNA) in animal blood, CFS, and tissues for biodistribution studies.

Potency
Assays

Potency testing is an essential part of developing cellular and gene therapy (CGT) products. We use case-by-case approach to develop, qualify, or validate custom potency assays in accordance with current Good Manufacturing Practice (cGMP) regulations, ensuring that they comply with the necessary standards for GMP product release.

CRISPRCRISPR Edited
Gene Assays

Since its discovery, CRISPR technology has been rapidly applied to biological drug development and gene and/or cell therapies .  Avance Biosciences™ has adopted accurate and sensitive methods, such as using NGS amplicon sequencing, real-time PCR (qPCR), and ddPCR, to support our clients for evaluating indel profiles introduced by CRISPR or other gene editing tools, and for evaluating the percentage of cells with edited genes.

CAR T-Cell TherapyCAR-T & Other
Cell Therapy Assays

To ensure the safety of the CAR-T treatment, regulatory agencies require thorough characterization of the manufactured CAR T-Cells.  Avance Biosciences™ offers customized qPCR and ddPCR solutions to help to determine the copy numbers of inserted or edited genes, replication competent lentivirus (RCL), and any other target of interest. In addition, we are experienced in supporting our clients in their preclinical biodistribution studies and preclinical/clinical pharmacokinetics studies.

Single-cellSingle-cell
Multi-omics Analysis

Avance Biosciences™’ single-cell services for cell and gene therapies leverage the cutting-edge Mission Bio Tapestri® Platform to provide unparalleled insights into single-cell genomics. Avance is the “First-in-World” to GMP qualify an % transduction assay to characterize a lentiviral vector transduced drug product using the Mission Bio Tapestri® platform for single-cell characterization.
