Frequently Asked Questions

Does Forge Biologics provide AAV CRO services?

Forge Biologics is a CDMO (Contract Development and Manufacturing Organization) and does not provide CRO services. We specialize in AAV manufacturing, offering research-grade production, process development, GMP manufacturing, and integrated support services such as molecular development, analytics, and regulatory consultation. While we don’t provide traditional CRO services—like preclinical or clinical trial management—we work closely with clients to support their manufacturing strategy throughout the development lifecycle and maintain preferred partnerships with CROs that we can connect our clients to as needed.

How quickly can Forge deliver a GMP batch?

Timelines for GMP batch delivery are highly dependent on the specifics of your program, including vector design, process readiness, and scope of work. By partnering with Forge and leveraging our proprietary platform and integrated services—such as in-house analytics and plasmid production—developers may accelerate timelines to GMP manufacturing by up to 30% compared to full process development.
