CIIP Singapore - PEGASUS-BPE-CAR-T: Cost-Effective CAR-TCR Development with Pegasus Bio's BPE Plasmid Platform$600Kvalue2026start2028end

CIIP Singapore -PEGASUS-BPE-CAR-T: Cell and gene therapy manufacturing faces major bottlenecks due to low-yield, high-cost, and difficult-to-scale plasmid DNA systems that limit efficient viral production. Pegasus Bio and CellVec are partnering to commercialize a high-performance plasmid DNA vector platform optimized for CAR-T and CAR-NK manufacturing. The project delivers a cost-effective, scalable, and regulatory-ready solution for gene delivery, improving expression, safety, and production efficiency. The PB BPE plasmid system will be offered to CGT developers through licensing and CDMO par

UK Biomanufacturing - 10141267 - BPE Human Vaccines - Implementation of High Yielding Plasmid DNA Platform for Human Vaccine Manufacturing$514Kvalue2025start2027end

This project leverages the combined vaccine development platform technologies of Pegasus Biotech, ConserV Bio and 4BaseBio to evaluate and enhance the manufacturing capability of a novel Canadian plasmid DNA technology platform (BPE) in the production of a new class of human influenza vaccines based on ConserV Bio's FLU-v technology.

BPE Plasmid Scale Up$350Kvalue2024start2025end

The BPE technology is a novel, DNA plasmid backbone/production method that is ultra-low-cost, and has superior transfection efficiency. The technology has been demonstrated at lab scale (1.0 L fermentation), and needs to be scaled up to a commercially viable pilot scale to aid commercialization, and support projects to market the technology. This project ultimately scales up the process to 20-30 L fermentation along with associated downstream processes.
