Chromos Molecular Systems Inc.

Chromos Molecular Systems Inc.

Chromos Molecular Systems Inc. is the world leader in the
commercialization and development of Artificial Chromosome
technology for use in cellular and transgenic protein production
and gene therapy.

A privately held company, launched in 1996, Chromos has
engineering, development and production facilities in Vancouver,
Canada and conducts discovery research in Hungary. The
Vancouver facility which includes a pilot plant, is the only one
in the world capable of producing artificial chromosomes in
meaningful quantities and levels of purity.

Chromos' satellite DNA-based artificial chromosome (SATAC) has
several advantages over existing vector systems. It has a large
DNA carrying capacity and can be custom designed to include large
and/or multiple genes. Further, SATACs do not integrate into
target cell DNA.

Chromos is currently focussing on the engineering and
optimization of their Artificial Chromosome technology for
production of commercial products in cellular and transgenic
systems.

Artificial Chromosomes

Transgenic Animals
The Chromosomal construct can be used as a stable gene delivery vehicle that can be inserted at the embryonic stage to precisely target desirable traits with a high level of specificity and efficiency that has, to date, been lacking in other methods.

Cell Lines For Protein Production
The use of mammalian artificial chromosomes would allow for increased DNA carrying capacity, optimized gene expression and stability in cellular production systems.
