Mike Chen, the CEO of ACROBiosystems
We are pleased to enter this agreement with ACROBiosystems for our recombinant protein needs. In the past years, we have used many different recombinant proteins from ACRObiosystems for novel antibody discovery projects for our clients ranging from large pharmaceutical companies to startup biotech. For cell surface proteins, the antibodies we discovered can readily recognize native proteins on various cells, suggesting these recombinant proteins are of high quality.”
