Both sides will combine their respective strengths in the field of gene therapy to jointly provide better drug development services. Leveraging Porton Advanced's end-to-end cell and gene therapy CDMO service platform and resource advantages, combined with Geneseed Biotech's comprehensive core patented technologies in circRNA drug concept validation and process development, the two companies will jointly propel technological innovation and clinical translation, thereby accelerating the implementation of innovative circRNA therapies.

Proton Advanced is committed to providing end-to-end CDMO services for cell and gene therapy, and has extensive experience in nucleic acid therapy process development and GMP production, covering various types including mRNA, saRNA, circRNA, and more. Porton Advanced can provide comprehensive CMC services from preclinical to clinical production. Geneseed Biotech, relying on its profound technology and robust original R&D capability, has broken through the technical bottleneck of circRNA drug development and possesses independent intellectual property rights over its core circularization technology. In this cooperation, both parties will establish a comprehensive strategic partnership to deeply expanding technological cooperation and resource sharing in the field of circRNA. This will further strengthen Porton Advanced's end-to-end CDMO platform, from innovation in research and technology to high-quality project delivery, thereby providing more valuable services to customers.

"We are very pleased to have entered into a strategic collaboration with Porton Advanced." said Liu Ming, founder and CEO of Geneseed Biotech.
