Say hello to Aava

The first name for the last word in AAV manufacturing.

Aava is the high-performance, real-world-ready AAV manufacturing platform that can get your high-potential gene therapies to market quickly and efficiently.

A new name for a proven AAV platform.

Aava exists because Viralgen is all in on AAV—it’s all we do, all day, every day. As a result, our manufacturing platform, and our Pro10™ cell line, have amassed an impressive 15-years-and-counting record of success for biotech and pharmaceutical partners large and small, from early construct optimization to small feasibility studies to full-on commercial campaigns.

We’ve produced more than 30 AAV serotypes, created upwards of 1,500 AAV batches, and been involved in over four dozen clinical trials.

All of which means you can count on Aava to deliver the perfect combination of speed, scale, predictability, and performance to maximize your opportunities to get life-changing therapies to patients.
