This company has developed performant tools for plasmids synthesis. At this time e-Zyvec was searching for partner in order to validate LV and AAV productions using their own plasmid backbones and compare obtained results with backbone from other suppliers. Thanks to a first grant Boost4Health, we start a collaborative work together. We first validated LV production from e-Zyvec plasmids in 2019. Then in 2020, we did the same work for AAV plasmids successfully. Thanks to this new collaboration and settings, in 2021, this leads to 6 new projects/services. These projects were done for academic scientists (4) but also for companies (2).
