Cell Line Development Services
Wheeler Bio’s state-of-the-art facilities and highly experienced technical development teams make us leaders in cell line development (CLD). Utilizing the latest CLD technologies in our Oklahoma City Integrated Process Development Lab, our CLD services are curated to expedite the development of your novel therapy by providing reliability, reducing costs and accelerating timelines.
Mammalian Cell Line Development
Wheeler Bio’s Modular CMC platform utilizes best-in-class cell line and transposon technologies provided by ATUM™. This innovative bioprocessing offering incorporates the ATUM GeneGPS® and VectorGPS® technologies, embedded in the Leap-In Transposase® expression platform, along with the ATUM miCHO™ host cell line to provide clients with plug-and-play expression optimization. By coupling the ATUM cell line technology with Wheeler’s bioprocess expertise, the Modular CMC offering provides a tremendously strong and accessible platform that demonstrates speed and predictability from discovery to IND.
Our team also understands that every drug candidate is unique. Wheeler can leverage our experience in cell line development to develop a custom solution designed to optimize your program needs. We have experience working with a majority of CHO expression systems offered on the market today and have successfully implemented alternative CHO expression systems, when needed.
Leveraging our state-of-the-art facility, we provide access to a wide range of technologies and capabilities, including:
Solentim® Ecosystem
Ambr® Technologies
Scale-Up and Purification
Wheeler Bio’s Modular CMC offering also contains multiple work packages designed to ensure a high-quality final product through material generation and manufacturability assessments in stable bulk cultures (Work Packages 1 & 2), subsequent clone selection (Work Package 3), and cell line stability assessments (Work Package 5).
Cell Line Development Through Modular CMC
As part of our Modular CMC platform, we provide drug developers with access to a dedicated service team, optimized vector production with transposon-based gene delivery tools, and highly automated processes for transfection, outgrowth, and pool generation. This ensures efficient, consistent, and verifiable clone isolation, along with genetic stability and manufacturability assessments.
