Our Story
Our team has extensive experience in the development, clinical translation and commercialization of Lentiviral vector technology.
Team members led the first-ever Lentiviral vector clinical trial in humans¹ and individually have over 20 years of experience in developing, manufacturing and clinically evaluating Lentiviral vectors. Team members designed and manufactured the Lentiviral vector that eventually became the critical component of Kymriah® the first FDA-approved gene therapy, a CAR-T cell therapy, for the treatment of Leukemia².
Over the last 20 years, our team members have produced thousands of pre-clinical and hundreds of GMP Lentiviral vector batches. With that comes significant experience and knowledge of vector design, manufacturing, and testing. We leverage that experience to help our partners realize their Lentiviral vector-based medicines.
Seeing the need for high-quality Lentiviral vectors for rapid clinical translation, we have built a company that accelerates our partners path to the clinic, and ultimately commercialization. We do this by providing a platform solution for Lentiviral vector design, research grade, pre-clinical grade and GMP-grade Lentiviral vector manufacturing, testing and supporting services.
We are determined to provide our partners with the best possible service so they can achieve their goals and make their Lentiviral vector-based medicines a clinical reality.

How We Give Back
Vector BioMed is a for-profit public benefit corporation that provides manufacturing solutions and support services to our partners seeking to develop Lentiviral vector based medicines. In addition, we have a social mission to ensure that these transformative medicines can reach as many people as possible around the world that need them.
In collaboration with Caring Cross, a 501(c)(3) non-profit, we devote 10% of our manufacturing capacity for development of medicines for underserved populations like those in Low- and Middle-Income Countries (LMICs). For more information on Caring Cross, please visit https://caringcross.org.
