Why Cell and Gene Therapy Companies Choose Zener Engineering Services

Cell and Gene Therapy (CGTs) companies are transforming the discovery of new therapies to fight disease. The CGT approach to new therapy discovery produces a relatively new category of medicine, the full potential of which has not yet been fully realised.

CGTs are different from the usual chemical pharmaceutical in that they involve extracting living cells, proteins or genetic material (DNA) from a patient, which are then altered in some way to provide a highly personalised therapy. This personalised therapy is then injected back into the patient. In some quarters it is suggested that CGTs may offer longer-lasting benefits than those provided by traditional chemical medicines.

Research into CGTs shows that they have the potential to treat often complex diseases, where no effective treatments are available from traditional chemical pharmaceuticals.

ZES were founded on the principles of being innovative and providing world-class solutions. ZES are building a reputation for quality and excellence, with a consistently high standard of quality, reliability and versatility of its services. ZES invest heavily in highly qualified and GxP experienced personnel, to respond to the increasingly complex demands of the pharmaceutical, medical device manufacturing industries and healthcare providers.
