To accelerate the journey to the clinic, we offer a full range of development and manufacturing services for all major classes of biopharmaceutical, and have developed a portfolio of technologies aimed to improve product yield, reduce process development time and increase product stability. These technologies have demonstrated to reduce risks, improve timelines and reduce costs in biopharmaceutical development to ensure the product reaches the patient without any unnecessary delays. We are an active player in Global Health, where we collaborate with prominent academic institutions and public organizations to improve the availability and affordability of key biopharmaceuticals for all in need.
Equipped to tackle challenges
The company employs a highly educated staff with many years of experience in DNA cloning, mammalian cell line generation, upstream process development, purification development, product characterization, and clinical manufacturing. As such the company, with laboratories in USA and the Netherlands, is well positioned to take on any challenge associated with the development of complex biological medicines be it proteins, antibodies, vaccines or viral vectors.
The founders
Batavia Biosciences was founded in 2010 by Chris Yallop and Menzo Havenga. Chris build his career first on recombinant proteins and antibodies, while Menzo did the same on vaccines and viral vectors. During their career, they experienced both the benefits and hurdles associated with outsourcing. Using that experience, they decided to build their own contract development and manufacturing organization, positioned to help clients from an early idea through process development into clinical GMP manufacturing.
