Viral Vector Technology as key enabler for innovative therapeutics.

Viral vectors are a tool commonly used by molecular biologists to deliver genetic material into cells. This technique enables research of gene function and innovative therapeutics designed to correct defective genes and cancer. These technologies also assist in the discovery of new drug, food and cosmetic compounds.

SIRION is a global leader in viral vector technology for gene modification of mammalian cells. Along with custom services, the company stands ready to outlicense its unique technologies. An initial target currently being pursued by one of SIRION's partners is a gene therapeutic for cervical cancer.

The company started business in 2007 and since then has been changing the paradigm of viral vector supplies. Specifically, all commonly applied vector types are now available within a matter of weeks - adenovirus, adeno-associated virus (AAV) and lentivirus - and a full range of virus related services is at your fingertips spanning from particle production to virus driven cell modelling, all at highest titers and in quantities required for preclinical, clinical and animal testing.

The company is easily accessible with presence in Munich, Tokyo, New Hampshire and Tel Aviv. Commercial arrangements range from fee-for-service over exclusive rights on single clones all the way to milestone & licensing arrangements. The business model proves successful: an annual 70% growth since 2007 and experienced in more than 500 projects for both the academic and industry sector.

The company is privately held and has over the years raised funds from 8 investors both private and government. In order to support further growth and to benefit from technology development in this exciting industry, the company welcomes new investors.
