New product launch: Today we’re launching LV Apex Suite, a new product suite for lentiviral vector production.
This marks 64x Bio’s expansion from AAV into LV — and another step in translating our CellMap-driven VectorSelect platform across new modalities.
LV Apex Suite begins with a high yield engineered HEK293T suspension cell line for transient LV production, with stable systems and additional production-enabling technologies in development.
More broadly, this launch reflects where 64x Bio is headed: expanding CellMap as a data foundation for production biology, and learning from those data computationally to iteratively guide development of better cell lines, reagents, and production systems for viral vectors — and soon, biologics.

We’re launching LV Apex Suite today, our second Apex Suite after AAV. Each new modality adds data on what’s shared, what’s different, and how to engineer production systems in an integrated way. That’s tied to a core view at @64xbio:
Cell lines, reagents, and process aren't separate levers, they're interdependent parts of a single production system. If we want better productivity, quality, and scalability, we need to understand and engineer that system more holistically.
That’s what we’re building toward with CellMap: data-rich experimental maps of production biology that we can learn from computationally, to guide the design of better cell lines and reagents. Biologics are next, and existing suites will keep expanding with additional tools.
With this, we’re also growing our commercial and ops teams. If you’re excited about building next gen biomanufacturing tools, DM me.
Incredibly proud of the team today for all the work behind this launch. Much more to come.
We're excited to welcome @JebKeiper to Strand's Board as an independent Director!
Strand gains invaluable expertise from Jeb, whose proven track record as former CEO of Nimbus Therapeutics encompasses preclinical R&D innovation, clinical development, and global business development and licensing. With him on board, we’re driving the future of genetic medicines forward.

Landscape #2: Future of Gene Therapy
Gene therapy is more than just a breakthrough for rare monogenic diseases—it's the foundation for a new era in medicine. While current therapies focus on introducing wildtype genes to counteract loss of function mutations, the potential for broader, more complex treatments is immense. The future of gene therapy could redefine how we treat serious diseases, making it a key player in the future of healthcare
