HALIX is a contract development & manufacturing organization (CDMO) and licensed for clinical and commercial GMP contract manufacturing of biopharmaceuticals. We provide services to biopharmaceutical partners, enabling them to harvest on their research activities, and to enter and supply their markets with the most efficient use of resources. Our focus is GMP manufacturing of biologics, by manufacturing drug substance on eucaryotic cells, and by performing aseptic fill and finish and lyophilization services. Within the next years we are extending our scope of services for therapeutic proteins and viral vaccines.

Mr. Paul Dirkse, Alderman of the Municipality of Leiden, praised HALIX for settling in the Leiden Bio Science Park and therefore contributing to the continuous development of the area.

The Leiden Bio Science Park is the largest science cluster in the Netherlands and brings together Leiden University, Leiden University Medical Center (LUMC), and approximately 150 companies in close proximity. There is a lot of energy and expertise moving around between companies in the Bio Science Park. Being part of that is a great benefit for HALIX.
