Norberto Prestes, master in Public Management with an emphasis on Biotechnology Network and currently executive president of the Brazilian Association of Pharmaceutical Inputs (abiquifi);
Carolini Kaid, CEO of
@vyrobio and scientist responsible for discovering that the genetically modified Zika Virus is capable of acting as a vector for treating tumors and other brain diseases;
Marina Domenech, founder of SAIL for Health, CEO of Intrials Clinical Research and responsible for making the connection for the University of Oxford to open its first headquarters outside the United Kingdom in Brazil, talk about the importance of the opening of the new
@biotimize laboratory in Piracicaba (São Paulo, Brazil) last week.
The laboratory will be a pioneer in operating in the “as a service” model (CDMO) under conditions of Good Laboratory Practices (GLP), this means that in addition to offering services to universities and companies, it will also be the only one to operate with complete production from viruses, bacteria, yeast to mammalian cells.
One of the first projects of the new Biotimize laboratory will be in partnership with Vyro Biotherapeutics: the production of the initial batch (phase 0) of the treatment that uses the Zika virus to attack brain tumors!
This local production means more than just developing new treatments, it also means expanding our population’s access to advanced therapies at a lower cost, in addition to strengthening the national innovation ecosystem.
“We are experiencing a milestone in the evolution of Brazilian bioscience.” Says Marina Domenech.
