Nature Technology Corporation is a discovery-based bioengineering technology company, providing industry solutions for biopharmaceutical development: vectors; strains; processes; and products; including manufacturing and technology transfer. NTC specializes in services for manufacturing recombinant plasmids (gene therapeutics and DNA vaccines) and proteins.
Biopharmaceuticals are the fastest growing and most promising of new drug entities. Unlike small molecules, biologics are created in living cells and are designed to function in a highly specific manner. Rational design and advanced molecular technology (Gene Self Assembly, GENSA) has led to highly effective viral and non-viral vectors, designer proteins, gene therapeutics and DNA vaccines. Advanced strain engineering technology (Genome Mass Transfer, GMT) allows specialty microbial genomes to be created from existing host strains, incorporating the genetic and regulatory elements for highest-yield production and simplified processing. Process development creates and integrates essential engineering components of upstream (fermentation) and downstream (purification) technologies, resulting in highest-purity and greatest-yield products.
Tech transfer completes the cycle by integrating production technologies into client or CMO facilities for quality manufacturing of safe and effective biologics. NTC offers highly purified custom plasmid DNA manufacturing and recombinant protein production services.
