CHO Plus
Early-stage biotechnology company developing a directed-evolution cell engineering platform to create mammalian host cell lines with substantially increased productivity for therapeutic proteins and viral vectors. The organization demonstrates cell engineering, clone screening, and analytical workflows to produce and characterize high‑productivity CHO and HEK-293 derived cell lines for monoclonal antibody and AAV manufacturing, and pursues commercialization via licensing and collaborations.

Products
Engineered CHO host cell lines for mAb production
Mammalian host cell lines engineered for increased endoplasmic reticulum capacity and higher specific productivity, demonstrated at shake-flask fed-batch scale with increased volumetric titers and multi‑generation stability.
Engineered HEK-293 host cell lines and producer cell lines for AAV
Engineered HEK-293 suspension hosts and stable producer cell lines selected for higher AAV capsid titers, increased percent-full capsids, and improved functional titers across multiple serotypes.
