Our team

Engineers, scientists,
and operators.

A team of veterans who have lived on both sides of the table — drug developer and CDMO — and brought what they learned to GeneFab.

Senior leadership.

Each member of our leadership team has scaled programs from research bench to commercial supply — across multiple modalities and across the most demanding clients.
