We are committed to enabling our partners to develop the most successful vectors for their applications. We guide our customers through the entire Cell & Gene Therapy value chain – from capsid evolution and clinical vector design to reduce vector dose and improve therapeutic success, to supporting them with our process and development experience and manufacture of high-quality clinically compliant viral vectors for late preclinical applications.

SIRION Biotech has active R&D in the areas of AAV vector optimization and design for clinical compliance, and upstream and downstream process development for AAV, AV, and Lentivirus manufacture. We work closely with academic collaborators all over the world to ensure we stay at the forefront of technology developments. Our R&D and Process Development teams are constantly seeking to improve our offerings to meet the challenges facing cell and gene therapy companies.

Commercial arrangements range from fee-for-service and IP-generating collaborations to milestone & licensing arrangements.

The company is easily accessible with headquarters in Munich, as well as offices and agents in Boston, Paris, Tokyo, Seoul, and Tel Aviv.

On August 31, 2021, SIRION was taken over entirely by PerkinElmer. PerkinElmer is an international leader in the field of medical and biotechnology. Headquartered in Waltham, Massachusetts, the com-pany employs more than 14,000 people worldwide and offers extensive expertise in diagnostics, medical research, and environmental and food analysis through innovative detection, imaging, and informatics systems. PerkinElmer, Inc. is included in the S&P 500 stock market index.

Company Culture
SIRION Biotech is committed to improving clinical use of viral vectors, ultimately for the benefit of patients. The spirit of quality and awareness of the immediate impact of everyone’s work on clinical research and therapy performance is communicated through our employees. We share our values by word and through action, like the royalty-free access program to SIRION’s LentiBOOST® technology to research hospitals.

SIRION Biotech is very international. Our Founder and CEO, Dr. Christian Thirion, is French, and we have staff at our Munich HQ from Germany, Australia, Portugal, Russia, Romania, France, Japan, Canada, Italy, and Bolivia. And staff in our US and French sites are from France, Mexico, Italy, Ecuador, Switzerland, Germany, and USA. Transparency, acting against discrimination, and performance-driven excellence also translates into an exceptionally high percentage of women at all levels of the company, particularly in leadership positions.

The Future
SIRION Biotech’s mission is to help cell and gene therapy companies get the most effective treatments to patients as quickly and efficiently as possible, and we are always looking to expand our services along the value chain. We are committed to improving the quality and effectiveness of viral vectors by working intensively on capsid evolution, upscaling our processes, improving our quality and controls, and managing the GMP production process. Our newly established Discovery and PreClinical Services team manage viral vector development and manufacturing, our GMP Alliances team work on the seamless transfer of protocols from our lab to a CMO, and our Cell and Gene Therapy Clinical Support team help our customers develop the most appropriate vectors for their applications and support them through the legal and regulatory frameworks for viral vector therapies.
