SUREmAb is a vertically integrated global offering designed to minimize development timelines for global biopharmaceutical manufacturers, delivering research cell bank (RCB) development in as little as 9 weeks and the ability for customers to move from DNA to GMP drug substance in as few as 11 months. In addition, SUREmAb is engineered to achieve titers of up to 10 g/L with a lower-cost workflow to optimize operational efficiency and maximize ROI.
"SUREmAb represents not just the culmination of decades of biologics production expertise but our vision for the future of mAb development,” said KBI Chief Scientific Officer, Sigma Mostafa. “In an era where time, efficiency, and innovation converge, we're proud to introduce a platform that can not only accelerate the development journey but is high quality and cost-effective, from the start. At KBI, we believe in anticipating market shifts and pioneering solutions that address tomorrow's challenges today, and SUREmAb is a testament to that commitment."
The operational consolidation of KBI Biopharma and Selexis, announced during BIO International 2023, played an important role in the operations that power the SUREmAb technology, enabling KBI to streamline processes and offer greater efficiencies in monoclonal antibody development and manufacturing. This offering strengthens KBI’s industry expertise and position within global markets by building on more than 15 years of mAb development leadership, with over 150 unique therapeutic mAb projects and 7 commercialized mAbs leveraging the SUREtechnology Platform.
“We recognize the need to be a strong partner for customers with novel therapies so that they have the best chance of reaching as many patients as possible,” said KBI CEO, J.D. Mowery. “The simplified access to SUREmAb and ongoing manufacturing with KBI shows our commitment to supporting the industry by improving a key barrier to development.”
SUREmAb complies with global regulatory standards, ensuring straightforward experiences when targeting markets regulated by the US FDA, EMA and PMDA.
