Vector Builder is the biggest company in the world that makes custom vectors for delivering viral and non-viral genes. It is a multinational company with offices in North America, Europe, China, Japan, Korea, Australia, and Israel. The company’s main office is in Chicago, Illinois, and it also has offices in North America, Europe, China, Japan, Korea, Australia, and Israel.

Vector Builder has GMP facilities for gene delivery systems and sells gene therapy products and delivery systems to over 50,000 customers and tens of thousands of institutions, such as the top pharmaceutical companies and universities in the world. We sell items and ways to deliver gene therapy.
Stand Up Therapeutics says that under this deal, Vector Builder will make and sell gene therapy products that Stand Up Therapeutics has designed in the future. The goal is to take control of the world market.
Bruce Lahn, the chief scientist of VectorBuilder, said, “VectorBuilder is interested in Stand Up Therapeutics’ gene therapy for treating paralysis all over the world. As a world leader in designing and making GMP gene delivery vectors, I hope that VectorBuilder will be able to sell this product to Stand Up for Patients around the world.”
Dr. Junsang Yoo, the CEO of Stand Up Therapeutics, said, “With its direct lineage reprogramming technique, Stand Up Therapeutics is the only company in the world with the technology to treat paralyzed patients with damaged spinal cords” (STUP-001).
