Dyadic International, Inc. announced Research and Development Collaboration with the Israel Institute - for Biological Research (IIBR) to Combat Emerging Diseases &Threats. The company elighted that IIBR has selected the C1 technology for their project designed to potentially combat against emerging diseases and biological threats by deploying the C1 gene expression platform as a potential game changing technology in Israel. The objective of the program is to enable the production of recombinant vaccines and neutralizing agents comprising targeted antigens and monoclonal antibodies, and in high volumes and low cost. This project will provide Dyadic with a unique opportunity to work with such a renowned organization to integrate the C1 gene expression platform into an end to end product development and manufacturing capability to produce biologics and take one or more of them through the regulatory process. Substantially, the work will be performed at IIBR's laboratories by using in-house resources.
Dyadic International, Inc. is a biotechnology company focused on the large-scale manufacture of proteins for use in human and animal vaccines and therapeutics and for use in non-pharmaceutical applications including food, nutrition, and wellness. The Company's gene expression and protein production platforms are based on the highly productive and scalable fungus Thermothelomyces heterothallica (formerly Myceliophthora thermophila). Its lead technology, C1-cell protein production platform, is based on an industrially proven microorganism (named C1), which is used to speed development and improve performance of biologic vaccines and drugs at flexible commercial scales for the human and animal health markets. The Company has also developed the Dapibus filamentous fungal based microbial protein production platform to enable the rapid development and large-scale manufacture of low-cost proteins, metabolites, and other biologic products for use in non-pharmaceutical applications.
