By providing a professional, reliable and high quality service to its clients, Luina Bio ticks all the boxes when it comes to choosing a contract manufacturer
The pharmaceutical products (like drugs or biologics) used in therapeutics for human diseases and disorders must be safe, effective and of good quality. Current Good Manufacturing Practices (cGMP) is designed to ensure that manufacturers are able to consistently produce products that meet the quality, purity and strength appropriate to their intended use.
Technical expertise is critical when deciding which contract development and manufacturing organisation (CDMO) to partner with. However, other key variables of importance that also distinguish the best CDMOs are timelines, efficiency, flexibility and organizational expertise.

The company has undertaken a wealth of diverse and challenging projects, a selection of which include:
- Recombinant protein from coli for a phase 3 trial in the US under IND
- Production of anaerobic BSL-2 Live Biotherapeutics for a Phase 1 trial in the US
- Recombinant protein from coli conjugated to a carbohydrate for a phase 2 in the US under IND and phase 2/3 trial in the EU;
