Our foundation.
Batavia Biosciences was founded in 2010 by Chris Yallop and Menzo Havenga. Chris build his career first on recombinant proteins and antibodies, while Menzo did the same on vaccines and viral vectors.
During their career, they experienced both the benefits and hurdles associated with outsourcing. Using that experience, they decided to build their own contract development and manufacturing organization, positioned to help clients from an early idea through process development into clinical GMP manufacturing.
