## Long description

## Overview

Wheeler Bio is a fully integrated Contract Development and Manufacturing Organization (CDMO) headquartered in Oklahoma City, specializing in antibody-based therapeutics. The company supports biologics developers from discovery through cGMP manufacturing, with a focus on monoclonal antibodies, multispecific antibodies, Fc-fusion proteins, and antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs).

## Core Services

### ModularCMC™ Platform
Wheeler Bio's proprietary ModularCMC™ platform delivers phase-appropriate, integrated work packages combining standardized modules, Quality-by-Design principles, and AI/ML-informed process development strategies. The platform enables rapid, data-driven advancement from discovery to cGMP supply while reducing risk through structured evaluation stop points.

### CMC Development Services
- **Cell Line Development:** Mammalian cell line development using ATUM Leap-In Transposon® system for stable CHO pool generation, single-cell cloning, selection, and master cell banking
- **Process Development & Optimization:** Structured process design and optimization
- **Analytical Development & Qualification:** Method development and qualification
- **Formulation Development:** Drug product formulation support

### Manufacturing Services
- **Drug Substance Manufacturing:** Non-cGMP and cGMP production of monoclonal antibodies, multispecific antibodies, Fc-fusion proteins, and mammalian-expressed recombinant proteins at kilogram-scale quantities
- **cGMP Technology Transfer:** Structured transfer of development process knowledge into cGMP manufacturing environment, including process risk assessment, bill of materials generation, raw material specification development, and master batch record preparation
- **Drug Product Manufacturing:** cGMP drug substance release through fill-finish coordination, drug product release testing, and ICH Q1A(R3)-aligned stability studies
- **Fill-Finish Services:** Conducted through partnership arrangements with seamless high-touch project management

### Partnered Services
- Lead optimization
- Regulatory support (in partnership with Pharmefex)
- Fill-finish operations

## Manufacturing Infrastructure

Wheeler Bio's facility is designed for flexible and efficient cGMP manufacturing utilizing single-use bioprocessing systems in ballroom suites, enabling accelerated and reliable technology transfer. The facility supports kilogram-scale drug substance production with quality oversight embedded at every stage from raw material release to batch disposition and Certificate of Analysis (CoA) generation.

## Program Types

The company offers five primary program types combining modular work packages:
1. Lead Selection
2. Cell Line Development
3. Rapid Tox Supply
4. Traditional Tox Supply
5. Lead to Clinic and Beyond

Custom program combinations are available to match specific development scopes.

## Differentiation

Wheeler Bio emphasizes a "high-science, high-touch" philosophy integrating deep scientific expertise with accessible project leadership, timely communication, and transparent collaboration. U.S.-based manufacturing in Oklahoma reduces supply chain exposure and supports regulatory alignment.
