AAV Aggregation Testing Method Evaluation (RFA2025.02)

NIIMBL is pleased to announce this Request for Application (RFA) to participate in the Viral Vector Program‘s initiative on evaluation of methods for the quality control of adeno-associated virus (AAV) aggregates.

This RFA aims to advance the understanding of AAV vector aggregation by evaluating available analytical techniques for aggregate detection, quantitation, and characterization, resulting in a recommendation on technique(s) suitable for ensuring appropriate product quality for early-stage clinical development. Learnings from the project will be openly shared across the academic, non-profit, and biotech communities that are advancing gene therapy development.
