Microbial, mRNA & pDNA Manufacturing in Europe
Our AGC Biologics Heidelberg facility serves as a hub for microbial systems and services in the European market. Located in the hot spot of life sciences in Germany, the site has scientists with several decades of protein expression experience. This enabled AGC Biologics to establish a center for custom pDNA services and a growing mRNA service line here. The facility's segregated line design allows for capacity and technological flexibility while ensuring compliance with current global guidelines required for cGMP compliance.
