An integrated biologics CDMO built for end-to-end delivery

Biologics development rarely follows a straight path. Programs evolve, timelines shift, and complexity increases as molecules move from development to commercialization. OneSource is structured to support this full lifecycle with a single, integrated platform, including the integration and production of drug-device combination products.

Clients engage OneSource at any stage, including:

  • Early-stage development—gene to IND
  • Tech transfer for clinical material generation—IND to BLA
  • Commercial manufacturing and alternate supply
  • Prior Approval Supplement (PAS)

Comprehensive capabilities enable end-to-end programs:

  • Process development and process characterization
  • Analytical method development and validation
  • Product characterization
  • Clinical and commercial manufacturing
  • Fill/finish and drug device integration

With integrated drug substance development and drug product development and manufacturing at the same site, OneSource eliminates common handoff risks and accelerates timelines.

Supporting the full spectrum of biologics modalities

OneSource supports a wide range of biologics across both microbial and mammalian expression systems.

Microbial Platforms

HOVER TO REVEAL DETAILS

Microbial Platforms

  • Recombinant protein products: Enzymes, cytokines, antibody fragments, peptide hormones, and more
  • High-yield E. coli expression systems
  • Intracellular – soluble and inclusion bodies; secreted products

Mammalian Platforms

HOVER TO REVEAL DETAILS

Mammalian Platforms

  • Conventional monoclonal antibodies (mAbs)
  • Bispecific and trispecific antibodies
  • Fc-fusion proteins and glycoproteins
  • Recombinant proteins
This breadth allows OneSource to support both novel biologics and biosimilars, with demand increasing due to upcoming patent expiries and a growing global biosimilar pipeline.

Analytical capabilities across the biologics lifecycle

OneSource provides comprehensive analytical services for biologics development and manufacturing, supporting approximately 95% of required testing in-house. Analytical capabilities at OneSource are designed to support both novel biologics and the highly demanding requirements of biosimilar development.

  • Identifying quality target product profile (QTPP)
  • Method development and qualification
  • Method transfer and validation
  • Bioassays (binding, kinetic, and functional)
  • LCMS
  • Stability studies and reference standard development and maintenance
  • Product characterization for novels using orthogonal analytical methods
  • Biosimilarity assessment and reference product strategy for biosimilars
  • Raw material testing
  • In-process and final release testing methods

Development and process expertise that enables scale

Successful biologics manufacturing starts with robust development. As a premier biologics CDMO, OneSource integrates upstream, downstream, and analytical teams from the outset to ensure processes are designed for scalability and manufacturability.

Upstream and downstream development

  • Clone/strain development and/or screening through partnered platforms
  • Process development for products from microbial and mammalian platforms
  • Perfusion and fed-batch cell culture processes
  • Inclusion body, refolding capabilities, and preparative HPLC capabilities

Process characterization and control

  • Scale-down model development and qualification
  • Design of Experiments (DoE) for process characterization and CPP identification
  • PPQ strategy and control strategy development for commercial manufacturing

Formulation development

  • High-concentration low-viscosity biologics formulation to enable subcutaneous delivery
  • Optimization for stability, viscosity, and delivery performance
  • Lyophilized drug product formulations

Drug-device integration

  • Fill-finish and primary container preparation
  • Autoinjector, pen, pre-filled syringe integration and assembly
  • Packaging and serialization

A core focus is ensuring processes are transfer-ready and scalable, supported by deep gap assessment and structured tech transfer methodologies.

Facilities and infrastructure designed for biologics at scale

Biologics programs at OneSource are supported by a coordinated network of development and manufacturing facilities in Bangalore, designed to move seamlessly from early-stage biologics process development through commercial production. This infrastructure connects upstream and downstream development with large-scale manufacturing and integrated drug product development and drug-device-combination product capabilities, ensuring continuity across the product lifecycle.

Rather than treating development and manufacturing as separate functions, OneSource aligns these environments to enable efficient scale-up, streamlined tech transfer, and consistent execution.

Accelerating development with advanced technology platforms

OneSource combines extensive experience, expertise, and advanced technologies to enhance productivity, yield, and manufacturability.

OneSource Technology Advantages

High-titer clone development (8–10 g/L in ~7 days)*

Next-generation E. coli expression with extracellular production*

High-concentration, low-viscosity formulation (~300 mg/mL)*

Perfusion-enabled mammalian systems

These capabilities translate directly into faster development timelines, improved yields, and reduced cost of goods, while also enabling more patient-friendly delivery formats such as subcutaneous administration.

*Service offered in cooperation with external partners.

Integrated drug substance and drug product capabilities

OneSource’s integrated model continues through drug product manufacturing, where biologics are filled into a range of formats.

Drug product formats include:

Vials (liquid and lyophilized)

Prefilled syringes

Cartridges

Pens

Autoinjectors

Because drug product capabilities exist alongside drug substance manufacturing, transitions between stages are streamlined. There is no need for external transfers under controlled-temperature conditions, and scheduling can be aligned to meet program timelines more efficiently. The result is a more controlled, predictable path from bulk drug substance to final product.


The OneSource integrated model enables:

  • Reduced tech transfer risk
  • Simplified logistics and scheduling
  • Faster timelines from DS to DP
  • Improved cost efficiency
