Industry partnerships focus areas
Our industry collaborations are organized around key areas to achieve the highest impact on your pipeline.
What We Offer
Cell and Gene Therapies & Viral Vector Platforms
We design, optimize, and transfer cell and gene therapy products and viral vectors – from early concepts to robust, scalable processes. iBET guides you through vector engineering, cell line and substrate development, upstream and downstream workflows, and manufacturability assessment, rooted in a regulatory frame with bioanalytics expertise.
Advanced Cell Models & 3D Disease Platforms
We master 3D advanced cell models mimicking human biology and disease, helping you de‑risk drug candidates earlier. Our platforms span tumor microenvironments, CNS, liver, cardiac and immune‑competent systems, supporting drug discovery, MoA studies, immunotherapies, and gene therapy safety/efficacy assessment.
Biologics & Vaccine Innovation Platforms
We support biologics and vaccine programs from candidate design to clinical‑ready material products. iBET combines molecular design, cell line and substrate development, process intensification approaches, and downstream strategies to help you bring complex protein and virus‑based products closer to the clinic.
Mechanism & Quality Insights for Complex Biologics (Omics and Advanced Readouts)
We provide deep mechanism and quality insights for complex biologics, ATMPs, and advanced delivery systems. Combining proteomics, metabolomics/fluxomics, transcriptomics, high‑resolution mass spectrometry, and bespoke bioanalytical workflows, we facilitate the elucidation of CQAs, mode‑of‑action, and safety/efficacy signals across your pipeline.
How We Make It Work
Embedded Partnerships & Satellite Labs (PRO collaborations)
Privileging strategic partnerships, we offer embedded collaboration models, from Project-based Contract to Satellite Laboratories, as long‑term umbrella contracts with dedicated and exclusive project teams.
Such contracts grant you a dedicated, high‑performing R&D extension with access to iBET’s full scientific ecosystem, infrastructure, and PRO mindset, while ensuring full IP ownership and simplified operations.

Francois du Plessis
Associate Director - Boehringer Ingelheim
Collaborating with iBET over the past five years has been truly transformative. Their unwavering professionalism, genuine commitment, and heartfelt dedication have set them apart from any other CRO or CDMO I’ve encountered. iBET didn’t just join our projects, they became an extension of our team, treating each challenge as their own. Their flexibility and proactive spirit brought innovative solutions and constant support. iBET exemplifies both excellence and kindness. I am grateful for the successful years of partnership and collaboration with iBET.
Eleuterio Lombardo
Director Cell Therapy Characterization and Development - Takeda
We have been collaborating with iBET for several years for the clinical development of one of our vaccine candidate. Our work together has allowed to move the vaccine candidate from our academic laboratory into GMP MVSS and engineering run in a few years. Thanks to these products, we got excellent results in our toxicological study and the vaccine is now entering a phase 1 clinical trial. The collaboration with iBET was fruitful, rigourous, smooth and kind. The issues encountered during the development have all been solved in a timely manner and iBET team always showed strong motivation and dedication to our project. I will of course continue this collaboration for future product developments.
Sylvain Baize
Head of Biology of Viral Emerging Infections Lab - Institut Pasteur
I have had the pleasure to be a close collaborator of iBET for more than 10 years and it has been an exceptional and deeply enriching experience. Their team is extremely competent, trustworthy, and reliable, always willing to embark in new projects with dedication and collaborative spirit. Together we have been able to secure large European projects that has contributed to strength our scientific reach and our friendship. But even more importantly, their supportive and humble attitude, always willing to put a little more time and work makes them the greatest scientific partners and friends building a truly meaningful long-term collaboration.
Felipe Prósper
Co-director of Hemato-Oncology Program, Principal Investigator of the Translational Hematology Group and Head of Cellular Therapy Unit - Cima Universidad de Navarra
iBET is one of our strategic partners for research. They always do what must be done to commit with our needs and respecting the timelines. Anytime open discussions or brainstorming is required we did it successfully. It’s easy to develop and run projects with iBET.
