Scaling up from lab to production is challenging, but at Cemvita, we've achieved the extraordinary. We not only scaled up the entire upstream process, but we also conquered the toughest part: the downstream process. This phenomenal success is all thanks to the relentless dedication and brilliance of our scientists and pilot team. I'm incredibly proud of the remarkable progress we've made in such a short time. Kudos to our amazing pilot team at Cemvita – your hard work and innovation are truly inspiring!
