For new and expanding CDMOs, credibility rests on development capability: platforms that work, laboratories that are fit for purpose and teams that know what good looks like. Z2 brings experience from global CDMO development – including cell line construction governance across sites at Lonza Biologics – to help establish and strengthen credible, scalable process-development capabilities.
Demand is shifting: under the US BIOSECURE Act, sponsors are seeking capacity in the US, Europe, South Korea and India.1,2
