Protein-Polymer Conjugation Services

PASylation TechnologyPolysialylation PlatformPEGylation Services

We provide comprehensive protein-polymer conjugation services that help transform biologics into safer, longer-lasting, and more effective therapies. By leveraging advanced chemistries such as PEGylation, PASylation, and polysialylation, we can covalently attach polymers to therapeutic proteins, peptides, and enzymes. This modification not only extends half-life and improves pharmacokinetics but also enhances stability, reduces immunogenicity, and optimizes drug delivery profiles. With expertise across R&D and GMP-compliant process development, our team supports biotech startups, pharmaceutical companies, and research institutions seeking scalable solutions for next-generation biologics.

What Problems Does Protein-Polymer Conjugation Solve?

Short half-life in vivo: Native proteins are often cleared too quickly from the bloodstream. Conjugation dramatically extends circulation time.

Poor stability & aggregation: Polymer shielding reduces denaturation, aggregation, and proteolytic degradation.

Immunogenicity & side effects: Smart polymer modifications help reduce immune recognition and off-target responses.

Limited bioavailability & targeting: Tailored polymer conjugates enhance tissue penetration and controlled release.

Manufacturing bottlenecks: Custom conjugation strategies streamline downstream purification and formulation.
