Achieve higher yields, improve quality & scalability with Viral Sensitizers (VSE™)
About us
Cell and gene therapies, as well as viral vaccines, need higher production yields—and that's where we excel. We significantly increase yields by targeting the innate cellular defenses within production cells. These natural defenses, designed to combat foreign genetic material and inhibit viral replication, can hinder your process. Our solution is a unique panel small molecules which make up our Viral Sensitizer (VSETM) platform, which dampen cellular defenses. Using an innovative high-throughput screening process, we have developed a library of novel VSEs. Virica continues to leverage this advanced technology to pinpoint the most synergistic Viral Sensitizer molecules from our library, tailored to any virus or cell line. We customize formulations of these Viral Sensitizers to enhance virus yield in your manufacturing process or optimize the effectiveness of your viral therapies. The result is higher yields and improved quality, helping to reduce costs and improve patient access.

Last week, Virica exhibited at Ontario Centre of Innovation's AGM! Cell and gene therapies (CGT) have offered curative solutions and transformed health care. However, it remains unaffordable and inaccessible to patients in need. Virica is here to change that! Our cell enhancers, called Viral Sensitizers (VSEᵀᴹ), remove the barriers to manufacturing CGTs at scale by increasing manufacturing productivity and reducing costs. Virica is proud to be a flagship company in the Ontario biomanufacturing sector and we are grateful for the support from Ontario Centre of Innovation through our journey.

📢Don't miss our upcoming webinar where we partner with Culture Biosciences and explore how thier cloud connected buoreactors and our DoE workflows can accelerate scale up of AAV manufacturing. Link to register below👉
Accelerating #AAVproduction: optimizing compound identification and process parameters The high cost of #genetherapies poses significant challenges in both bringing these life-saving treatments to the market and ensuring patient access. A major factor driving these costs is insufficient production yields, highlighting the need for novel technologies to scale up #AAVmanufacturing. Next month, Virica Biotech’s Keara Sutherland (Scientist) and Culture Biosciences’ Jean-Marc Guedon (Director, Application Technologies) will present novel workflows that accelerate the identification of compounds that enhance AAV production and discuss how a cloud-connected #bioreactor platform facilitates the transition from lab-scale to large-scale #genetherapymanufacturing Register below:
