Cerbios-Pharma brings its ADCs technology to DCAT 2018

Lugano, Switzerland: – Swiss-based high-potency API specialist Cerbios-Pharma SA (Cerbios) is returning to the high prestige DCAT Week in New York to showcase its new pipeline of Generic APIs and its exclusive contract development and manufacturing (CDMO) services.

Cerbios will present the full range of its innovative offers that include the fully integrated Antibody Drug Conjugate (ADC) services for the manufacturing of ADCs’ toxins, payloads and conjugation. Cerbios has also further expanded its technologies for CDMO services for “ultra high” potent active ingredients (HPAIs) and for cGMP SCF-atomization particle engineering generating micro and nanoparticle APIs with very narrow particle size distribution. It will also display the products’ pipeline based on the AKVANO® delivery system developed by its participated partner Lipidor: “The AKVANO ® technology allows innovative topical formulations of a wide variety of APIs for several pharmacological applications” said Gabriel Haering, Cerbios CEO.

Specialist teams

Cerbios has been a DCAT member since 2010 and has become an established presence at the event. Cerbios has emailed all its contacts with a direct link that enables them to set up fact to face meetings at DCAT.

The team led by Annalisa Miracca will discuss marketing, sales and product portfolios, while Business Development managers Simone Sala and Matteo Piazza focus on CDMO and exclusive manufacturing services.

Cerbios CEO, Dr. Gabriel Haering, CCO Denis Angioletti and CSO Claudio Pozzoli will also be on hand to discuss strategic alliances and co-operation.
