CHASKA, Minn., Oct. 01, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Lifecore Biomedical, Inc. (NASDAQ: LFCR) (“Lifecore”), a fully integrated contract development and manufacturing organization (“CDMO”), today announced that the company has been selected by Lindy Biosciences to provide CDMO services focused on streamlining the formulation process for Lindy Biosciences’ innovative microglassification technology and scaling it for commercial manufacturing. Lifecore was chosen following a competitive process during which Lindy Biosciences considered several CDMOs for the project. The multi-year agreement could potentially bring in more than $5 million of revenue for Lifecore over the term of the agreement and establishes the company as the preferred CDMO for Lindy Biosciences.
Lindy Biosciences’ proprietary microglassification suspension technology has attracted significant interest from leading global pharmaceutical companies, as evidenced by the licensing and collaboration agreement that Lindy Biosciences recently signed with a global pharmaceutical company. Its novel formulation platform has the potential to transform the delivery of biologic therapeutics by shifting from intravenous administration in a clinical setting to self-administration at home with pre-filled syringes or autoinjectors. This is achieved by enabling the delivery of high concentrations of biologics, significantly increasing the maximum dose that can be administered in a single subcutaneous injection. Based on its expertise in the development and fill/finish of sterile injectable pharmaceutical products, including complex formulations, Lifecore is ideally suited to support Lindy Biosciences and its customers.
“When deciding to select Lifecore for this important work, we were particularly drawn to the company’s creativity and willingness to collaborate. The team has offered thoughtful insight into opportunities to optimize the process while effectively scaling it for commercial manufacturing,” said Deborah Bitterfield, Ph.D., founder and chief executive officer of Lindy Biosciences. “At Lindy Biosciences, we are striving to address the growing need for convenient therapies that patients can self-administer at home. By aligning with an experienced and collaborative partner like Lifecore, we are putting ourselves in the best position for success.”
“As a company focused on enhancing patient care, we are excited to align with Lindy Biosciences and support the innovative work their team is undertaking to improve the patient experience. The interest in the company’s technology within the pharmaceutical industry is significant and we believe that, coupled with our expertise, our work on this project will establish Lifecore as a go-to partner for CDMO services for this platform,” said Darren Hieber, senior vice president of corporate development and partnerships at Lifecore. “Being selected by Lindy Bioscience following a highly competitive process is gratifying and spotlights the unique solutions that Lifecore can offer through both our track record of success with complex manufacturing processes, as well as the collaborative development work we provide our customers.”
