OUR HISTORY

ABL is a pure play Contract Development and Manufacturing Organization (CDMO) specialized in the development and manufacturing of oncolytic viruses, gene therapies, and vaccine candidates based on viral vectors. 

We are grounded in the Mérieux family’s legacy of biology and vaccine expertise, dating back to 1897

As a pioneer, we have been developing and producing virus vector since 1990s. We started with Pox Virus, MVA, Vaccinia and oncolytic viruses to support our clients’ clinical trials with the final goal of fighting against smallpox and several types of cancer.

We have continuously added new viruses within our portfolio, including manufacturing of AAVs in 2016 through adherent and suspension processes. Based on this strong expertise in virology and cell culture, in 2022 we decided to develop our high predictable yield and versatile AAV platform to manufacture different serotypes.

More than ever, our vision is to contribute to a long-term public health vision where Bio-Industry has a central role for a healthier world.
