Univercells, a Gosselies, Belgium based technology company dedicated to delivering innovative and cost-effective biomanufacturing solutions, has received a €2.4M grant.
The Walloon Region provided the grant.
The company will use the funding to develop its antibody production platform.
Univercells’ new program will focus on designing the next generation of production technologies, drastically reducing manufacturing costs while delivering large quantities, answering the growing demand for antibodies. The resulting low-footprint high-capacity production units are more affordable to build and operate, improving worldwide access to high-quality biologics.
