To explore the potential of its C1 technology to produce multiple types of biologic vaccines and drugs of interest

Dyadic International has entered into a fully funded proof of concept research collaboration to explore the potential of its C1 technology to produce multiple types of biologic vaccines and drugs of interest for human health indications with Sanofi-Aventis Deutschland GmbH, a company of the Sanofi group.


“We are very pleased to have the opportunity to collaborate with Sanofi to express multiple types of important therapeutic compounds using our C1 production platform,” said Mark Emalfarb, Dyadic’s chief executive officer. “This research and development program is aiming to overcome specific gene expression challenges and to further demonstrate the potential of C1 to become a platform of choice for manufacturing protein-based biologics because of its speed of development and low cost of goods.”

Under the agreement, Sanofi will fund the collaborative research which will utilize the proprietary and patented C1 Gene Expression Platform Technology to express multiple genes for vaccine and drug applications. The research is expected to be completed in the second half of 2019.  Other terms of the research collaboration are confidential.
