Biologics are a category of medical products derived from living organism or their cells. Biologics are applied to gene therapy, antibody infusions and other regenerative medicine applications. Southwest Research Institute (SwRI) is an independent, non-profit company that offers biologics manufacturing services in FDA-inspected Pharmaceutical Development laboratories. We provide contract research, development and production to support biologics drug development for start-ups, universities, biotech, biopharma and government clients.
