DISCOVERY SCIENCES
Protein Sciences
Our protein sciences team provides optimized solutions to generate recombinant proteins and antibodies that are customized, well-characterized, quality products for a wide variety of applications. Our broad suite of protein and antibody services are supported by a dedicated team that works closely with you from concept through delivery. You receive proteins tailored to your specifications in scale, purity, activity, and other analytical characteristics — on a timeline that meets your needs.
We welcome complex projects including de novo design, construction, purification, and analytical characterization of novel proteins and antibodies. From pseudo-particles to monoclonal antibodies, our team is experienced in the preparation of immunologic tools and in the purification of a wide range of proteins including large, complex molecules produced in optimal expression platforms. The protein sciences team works as a stand-alone offering or can be integrated with our bioanalytical, vaccine and clinical testing groups utilizing these reagents in a variety of non-clinical and clinical endpoints.
Our approach starts with the customer and their specific needs and goals. Our scientists and operations teams work together to deliver exceptional products in a timely manner while meeting our stringent quality parameters.
