Our Platform
Conventional biologics like antibodies can be effective but come with high material and pharmacoeconomic costs—especially for chronic diseases requiring frequent dosing. This limits accessibility in LMICs and certain clinical applications.
GCS has developed a breakthrough platform that enhances the efficiency of biological drugs by displaying therapeutic proteins or peptides on Virus-Like Particles (VLPs). This innovative approach optimises biologic activity, whether stimulating or blocking biochemical pathways.
GCS’s platform enables the production of both VLPs and passenger proteins in a single cell, whether bacterial, yeast, or mammalian. Proof-of-concept studies confirm the system’s ability to generate viable VLPs that induce natural antibody responses in mice.
GCS’s VLP-based technology delivers greater accessibility, affordability, and efficacy, redefining the future of biologic treatments.
Creating a new generation of therapeutic vaccines
Engineered to Optimise Performance
GCS’s proprietary VLP scaffold protein and Chaperone-assisted epitope protein are expressed within a single host cell — eliminating the need for genetic fusion of the epitope protein or chemical linkage.
This approach maximises epitope density for superior immunogenicity while simplifying cell banking and downstream processing with a single-release system.
Advancing New Technologies to Overcome Complex Clinical Challenges
Increased Efficiency
Traditional biologics require high drug volumes per patient, driving up costs. GCS technology drastically reduces dosage requirements (micrograms instead of milligrams), lowering production costs while maintaining efficacy.
Reduced Frequency Dosing
Current biologics require dosing every 2–4 weeks with ongoing immune monitoring. GCS products offer a more efficient regimen — just 1–2 induction doses and 1–2 annual boosters — enhancing patient convenience and improving pharmaco-economics, making treatment accessible to broader populations.
Lower Costs
High Cost of Goods Sold (CoGS) restricts market expansion and limits accessibility. Our solution minimises safety monitoring needs and reduces overall treatment costs, enabling access to emerging markets and resource-limited healthcare settings.
