DOULIX and SIRION BIOTECH Release World's First Online Adeno-Associated Virus Design and Production Tool

AAV Wizard streamlines AAV production workflow from vector design to packaging

DOULIX™, the synthetic biology toolkit, and SIRION BIOTECH, the viral vector engineering company, today announced the release of AAV Wizard, the world’s first cloud-based tool for the design and production of Adeno-associated viruses (AAV), next-generation viral vehicles for gene editing and gene silencing.

“AAV Wizard gives researchers full AAV design and production control while dramatically cutting development time,” said Dr. Carl Christel, Global Marketing Director and Sales USA, Sirion Biotech. “AAV Wizard streamlines the entire process of designing custom AAVs from viral vector design to viral particle packaging.”

The new AAV Wizard combines the power of computer-aided design with cutting-edge wet-lab facilities. The online tool guides users through the AAV design process with lab-validated genetic elements to meet tissue specificity, viral titer, and purification requirements. Researchers can design their viral vector online and have their viral particles delivered to their laboratory.

“AAV Wizard has the potential to transform research by accelerating the creation of AAVs for gene therapy, cell engineering, gene knock-in/out, and gene silencing,” said Davide De Lucrezia, Managing Director, DOULIX. “AAV Wizard leverages DOULIX’s cutting-edge bioinformatics tools and Sirion’s 10 years’ experience in virus manufacturing to bring AAV engineering to every lab.”

The DOULIX wizard was partially funded by EU Grant Number 686585.
