Elevate Bio.


This CDMO is continuously evaluates cutting-edge technologies to help partners develop cell and gene therapies more efficiently. In February 2025, they acquired IRO® to test its ability to integrate into their advanced manufacturing ecosystem and accelerate scalable, high-performance CGT production for their customers.

  • "IRO is an extremely robust T cell platform for activation, transduction and expansion. The system effectively checks the boxes for automation and connectivity, scalability and flexibility. It is intuitive, requiring little training and is easily adopted. Shows consistent robust performance, lowers cost of goods and reduces vein to vein time to get more batches to more patients faster."

  • "We observed the following results with IRO: 96% cell viability, 4.31B total cell yield by Day 7, 48.8% transduction efficiency vs 26.4% for the control, quicker activation observed in the IRO versus the control"
