ProBio, a leading contract development and manufacturing organization (CDMO) specializing in gene and cell therapy, announced the launch of its cGMP Adeno-Associated Virus (AAV) manufacturing services at its 128,000 sq. ft. state-of-the-art facility in Hopewell, New Jersey. This strategic expansion is designed to meet growing industry demand for high-quality viral vector production and reflects ProBio’s ongoing commitment to supporting the advancement of life-changing gene therapies.
The Hopewell facility is purpose-built to provide end-to-end AAV manufacturing solutions that align with global regulatory and quality standards. ProBio’s new capabilities offer clients fully integrated services—including GMP plasmid DNA production, AAV vector manufacturing, and final drug product formulation and aseptic fill/finish—within a single U.S.-based location. This streamlined approach simplifies coordination, reduces handoffs, and accelerates timelines across the drug development lifecycle.
“At ProBio, we recognize that every gene therapy program represents a critical opportunity to change lives,” said Allen Guo, Chief Executive Officer of ProBio. “Our new GMP AAV manufacturing platform reflects our mission to help developers navigate complex manufacturing challenges with speed, precision, and scientific integrity.”
