Two years ago, Sartorius became our technological partner: we together began to develop a platform on which any products based on adenovirus can be produced, including the Sputnik V vaccine. This platform is a comprehensive technological solution: equipment, guidelines, calculations on the necessary consumables and other components, - commented Rustem Muratov, General Director of Binnopharm Group. - The development and production of biotechnological drugs is one of our key areas, which we intend to develop, among other things, through a strategic partnership with Sartorius. |
The created technological platform for the production of vector drugs is universal and therefore has great potential for transfer, including to foreign countries, Irina Volkova, General Director of Sartorius in Russia, noted that we intend to develop a partnership with Binnopharm Group not only in the field of biotechnology, but also in other promising areas - such as gene therapy, cell drugs, products based on viral vectors. |
Binnopharm Group and Sartorius began to actively cooperate in 2019 as part of a project to scale the production of the Sputnik V vaccine. At that time, only two companies in the world - Sartorius and General Electric Healthcare - produced equipment that is used in the production of vector vaccines. The partnership with Sartorius allowed Binnopharm Group to launch industrial production of the vaccine in a record time at that time - in 4 months.
