Aragen licenses a protein technology to speed up biologics R&D

CRO Aragen Biosciences signed a deal with Dutch service provider ProteoNic Biotechnology to get its hands on a protein-production technology it believes can improve biologics development.

Under the agreement, Aragen will pay an undisclosed fee to offer ProteoNic's technology to its clients, and the CRO is not on the hook for royalties. More
