Aurigene Pharmaceutical Services Limited, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Dr. Reddy’s expands its existing discovery and development capacities with the inauguration of a biotherapeutics discovery facility in Hyderabad, India. Named New Biological Entity (NBE) Services, this division will complement Aurigene Pharmaceutical Services' offerings to global biopharma companies. NBE offers high-quality, cost-effective services for discovering and developing new advanced biopharmaceuticals such as Antibody Drug Conjugates (ADC), mRNA and CAR-T.


Large molecule therapeutics or biotherapeutics are more advanced drugs that represent a rapidly growing segment of the therapeutics market, and this move further underlines Aurigene’s commitment to serving its global biopharma clients in the areas of these therapeutic technologies.“This expansion was a logical step to leverage our capabilities further and to meet the global demand of domestic and international pharma companies. We are well-positioned through our integrated expertise and resources to support our clients in the discovery and development of biologics and vaccines in a flexible and fast manner,” said Ravi Venkataramanan, CEO of Aurigene.


The expansion complements Aurigene’s existing services for small and large molecule drugs from discovery to launch.
