Our Story
Advanced Therapies Are Only as Strong as the Materials Used to Create Them
As the first company to combine proprietary synthetic DNA manufacturing with advanced therapy development and GMP manufacturing, Artis provides a connected path from starting material to clinical production. Our integrated platform helps genetic medicine developers move faster, reduce complexity, and maintain greater control throughout development.
With operations in the United States and Europe, Artis supports programs spanning cell therapy, gene therapy, mRNA, gene editing, vaccines, and other advanced therapeutic modalities. By bringing synthetic DNA, process development, and GMP manufacturing together under one organization, we help transform promising science into clinical reality.
Our Heritage
Our Founding Mission Has Shaped Everything About How We Operate
Our first facility, located in Watertown, Massachusetts, was originally established as Landmark Bio, co-founded by Harvard University, MIT, and leading Boston research hospitals. It was purpose-built for translational development, the critical and often underserved stage where promising science must become a viable manufacturing process.
That founding mission shaped everything about how we operate: deep scientific collaboration, integrated development and manufacturing, and a focus on the early CMC decisions that determine whether a therapy reaches the clinic on time or stalls.
When Artis BioSolutions acquired Landmark Bio and then later Sygoi Technologies in Bilbao, Spain, we did not change that mission. We extended it, connecting downstream manufacturing excellence with upstream synthetic DNA production to create the integrated platform the industry has needed.
Each milestone reflects our commitment to building the infrastructure that genetic medicine needs to move faster, from the DNA through the clinic.
Our Platform
Artis operates an integrated platform that follows the natural path a therapy takes from genetic concept to the clinic.
Synthetic DNA Manufacturing
Artis produces clinical-grade synthetic DNA using a proprietary enzymatic, cell-free process. This replaces traditional plasmid-based bacterial fermentation with a faster, higher-purity alternative, providing the critical starting material that powers everything downstream.
GMP-ready synthetic DNA from mg to gram scale
Enzymatic manufacturing with reduced lead times and higher purity
Supporting mRNA, CAR-T, gene editing, viral and non-viral gene therapy
Capacity for 25+ concurrent customer projects
Advanced Therapy Development and GMP Manufacturing
Our Watertown facility delivers translational development and clinical-scale GMP manufacturing across the broadest range of advanced therapy modalities:
CAR-T and autologous cell therapies
AAV viral vector manufacturing
iPSC-derived therapeutics
Extracellular vesicle programs
mRNA manufacturing and LNP formulation
