Touchlight, a company providing DNA services and manufacturing enzymes, has completed the redevelopment and expansion of its UK manufacturing facility in London, UK.
The expanded facility’s manufacturing capacity has tripled and is now capable of producing more than 8kg a year. This exceeds the current, but growing, global supply of plasmid DNA for genetic medicine, and dramatically increases Touchlight’s capacity to meet growing demand for DNA from biopharmaceutical companies.
Demand for DNA from biopharmaceutical companies is increasing exponentially given its critical role in genetic medicines, including mRNA vaccines and gene therapies, enabling the potential of emerging new drug classes such as gene-editing treatments and novel cancer therapies. Touchlight has contracts to supply many top biopharmaceutical companies, including Pfizer and Lonza.
