EverGlade Consulting , a national consulting firm, has helped Cirsium Biosciences successfully secure up to $61 million in funding to create a rapid, safe, scalable, and low-cost plant-based manufacturing platform to drastically reduce production time and cost of viral vector-based gene therapies.
The $61 million in
ARPA-H funding will enable Cirsium Biosciences to utilize plant-based manufacturing-both upstream and downstream-to significantly reduce production costs and time. Cirsium aims to establish and validate a highly scalable, reproducible, and cost-effective plant-based platform for producing viral vectors. Their current process already achieves up to an 80% reduction in manufacturing lead times for AAV gene therapies, with potential for further improvements and optimizations. If successful, this plant-based approach to viral vector production will help meet the growing demand for gene therapies and alleviate looming shortages of certain vector types.

Cirsium Bioscience through their pursuit, proposal, and post-award efforts.
The $61 million dollar investment from ARPA-H marks a significant milestone in the development of a rapid and scalable manufacturing platform for viral vector-based therapies." stated EverGlade Consulting Founder, Eric Jia-Sobota.
