BioReliance® End-to-End Solutions
An Adaptive CDMO

We know that no two biologics development processes are the same and your needs can change in an instant or gradually over time.

That's why we offer adaptable contract development and manufacturing solutions for biotechs needing to develop and commercialize biologics. We do this by balancing speed, risk and cost through custom solutions, by leveraging our bioprocessing technologies and process development expertise.

You need to accelerate your journey to clinic?
Balancing risk and cost after getting funding for your drug development

Because every drug development process is different, we understand that you need an agile partner who intuitively understands your goals and not only mitigates risk, but also shares it with you.

We design process development strategies to deliver the optimal balance between speed to clinic and cost, without ever compromising on quality or patient safety.

Start your journey the right way for you.

Optimize your Biologic’s Analytical Program
for Greater Risk Reduction

Driven by the need for rapid advancement towards key milestones, what should an early-stage company think about when it comes to their analytical program?

What necessary information should a basic analytical program include? And what is the risk of short-cuts in analytical methods development?

Are you filing for IND?
Working with regulatory authorities

Because guaranteeing patient safety is the top priority throughout the development process, demonstrating this guarantee to regulatory authorities follows close behind.

Our wealth of experience working with regulatory authorities enables us to guide you through the IND filing process.

You need to optimize for the long term?
From molecule to market, we're always thinking about your next step

As you drive towards long-term commercial success, our adaptable approach offers the right combination of speed and efficiency through process scale-up.

Whether you have brought a product to market before or you are doing it for the first time, we will complement your experience and provide continued regulatory support to help you achieve long-term success.

As you move beyond the clinical trial phases, we will continue to find the balance between cost and speed so that you can get things right first time.

Reach your long-term goals the way you need to.


Trends in Outsourcing the Development and Manufacturing of Biologics

Many factors must be considered when determining the best approach for development and manufacturing of a biopharmaceutical. The right strategy must align with organizational objectives, accelerate progress toward key milestones within regulatory expectations, and ensure quality and patient safety.

In this whitepaper, we share highlights from a global market research survey of small, mid-sized and large biopharmaceutical companies on trends related to outsourcing.

A Scale-up from 3L directly to 2,000L

Once a robust upstream process established, scalability is critical to support demand for drug substance during clinical development. We developed a strategy to enable a direct, efficient and robust tech transfer of a monoclonal antibody production process from a 3L bioreactor to 2000L without the need for any intermediate volumes.

Are you planning for Tech Transfer?
Transferring your process at every step

We work with you to support reliable and reproducible tech transfer, no matter when or at what stage of the development process, ensuring the ability to move production between providers freely.

From defining critical quality attributes, to creating a detailed process description, and of course developing a successful transfer protocol, we can help you minimize time and cost spent during tech transfer while always staying in line with regulatory guidelines.



How We Work With You

Choose the path that's right for you

  • We're part of a leading global Life Science Business, so you have access to a range of bioprocessing technologies and expertize to fit different budgets and routes to commercial success.

We turn global understanding into local solutions

  • We have a deep understanding of market-specific regulations around the world and how they are changing, allowing us to cater to your specific manufacturing requirements.

We enable regulatory excellence

  • We are trusted by leading regulatory bodies including the FDA and EMA.
  • Our understanding of compliance requirements and excellent documentation mean we are trusted by leading regulatory bodies, minimizing risk as you take your product to market.

Flexible options through single-use technology

Key considerations for tech transfer

At some point, you will need to transfer a process either to another team for scale-up purposes or perhaps to another building, company or geography for manufacturing. Proactive planning for these events is essential.
