Eurofins CDMO Alphora announced participation in a NextGen ADC consortium to develop high‑yield expression vectors with engineered peptide linker tags, and separately launched an AI‑powered salt and co‑crystal screening platform for solid‑state development. NRC IRAP support and a collaboration with Daresbury Proteins aim to simplify ADC conjugation steps and accelerate downstream process development. The expression strategy seeks to integrate affinity tags at the production stage to reduce purification and conjugation complexity; the AI tool promises earlier, data‑driven solid form selection to shorten development timelines. Together these moves target cost and timeline pressures in precision biologics manufacturing. Sources: Eurofins CDMO Alphora announcements and NRC IRAP program notes.
