RD-BIOTECH will complete its biomanufacturing offer with a new production unit for DNA plasmids, raw materials for the pharmaceutical industry (GMP grade - Good Manufacturing Practices)
Winner of the France Relance 2021 prize
RD-Biotech saw the project to build its “GMP plasmids” production unit selected by the French government.


This bioproduction unit will complement our current capacities for the production of plasmid DNA, R&D grade and High-Quality grade, and will allow us to meet the growing demands of the market for new cell and gene therapies requiring plasmid DNA as biological starting material:
- Gene therapy – Therapeutic viruses: applications in oncology, hereditary diseases, …
- Gene therapy – CAR T Cells: applications in oncology, leukaemia
- Therapeutic mRNAs: applications in oncology, autoimmune diseases, vaccines including covid-19 vaccines
Currently, RD-Biotech offers 3 levels of expertise:

Molecular biology: design and construction of plasmids
Production of plasmids, R&D grade
Production of plasmids, “High Quality” grade
And soon a 4th level of expertise
Production of plasmids, "GMP" grade (BPF)
The opening of this new unit is scheduled for the end of 2022, in the TEMIS Santé technology park, Besançon (France):
- More than 1,000 square meters of GMPGrade laboratories
- Several independent production suites

Coming soon, our GMP grade DNA plasmid production unit providing support for our customers from the R&D phases to the commercial phases of advanced therapy drug production.
