Evonik Vancouver Laboratories, formerly known as Transferra Nanosciences Inc. or Northern Lipids, has been a market CDMO leader for lipid nanoparticle (LNP)-/liposome-based formulations for almost 30 years. We have an unparalleled track record in early stage development, scale-up and production of lipid-based formulations for gene-based therapies and other advanced nanomedicines. As a specialist CDMO for lipid nanoparticles (LNPs) with a broad base of pharmaceutical and biotech clients across the world, we have accumulated extensive expertise across virtually all classes of pharmaceuticals. Hundreds of LNP-based formulations have been developed by us to-date, including oncology, vaccines, nucleic acids (mRNA, DNA, siRNA), ligand-targeted formulations and imaging contrast agents. We are also leading the CDMO market for LNPs to address emerging areas of market need including drug combinations, immunotherapies and individualized treatments. In addition, we design and manufacture LIPEX™ line of extruders, which are designed to enable small-scale to commercial scale manufacturing of specific liposomal drug products.
