Twenty years of focused know how on formulation and analytical development to meet the demands of global regulatory authorities at all clinical phases, has established Quay Pharma as a leading innovator in the fast growing microbial therapies space. We work with bacteria including fastidious anaerobes, multi-species consortia, viruses including bacteriophages and viral vectors and microbially derived drug products such as recombinant peptides and spores. This diversity requires a broad range of expertise, analytical techniques, operational flexibility and handling requirements to ensure safe and efficacious manufacture specifically during manufacturing scaleup for clinical supply.
