D-Crypt™

A Robust Platform for Rapid and Scalable Development of Next-Gen Vaccines


Gen Vaccines

D-CryptTM is our proprietary yeast-based platform for Virus-Like Particle (VLP) circRNA-VLP based vaccines, designed to accelerate the development of vaccines against infectious diseases, emerging pathogens, and challenging therapeutic targets.

By combining advanced protein engineering with scalable microbial manufacturing, D-Crypt™ enables tunable display of antigens on highly immunogenic VLP scaffolds, creating potent vaccine candidates that drive robust humoral and cellular immune responses. 

The Evolution of D-Crypt™

D-Crypt™ has evolved into a versatile platform engineered to address some of the most significant challenges in biologics, vaccines, and RNA therapeutics. Built on over two decades of protein engineering and vaccine development expertise, the platform now spans three complementary technology modules.

D-Crypt™ Expression Engine: Enabling Complex and Difficult-to-Express Proteins

The foundation of the D-Crypt™ platform was established to overcome bottlenecks in the expression of structurally complex recombinant proteins, including membrane proteins, viral antigens, and other challenging therapeutic targets.

Key capabilities
  • + High-yield recombinant protein production
  • + Expression of structurally complex and membrane-associated proteins
  • + Accelerated antigen discovery and development
  • + Scalable microbial manufacturing


D-Crypt™ VLP Platform: Engineering Next-Generation Virus-Like Particle Vaccines

Building on its protein engineering capabilities, D-Crypt™ was expanded to support the coordinated expression and assembly of multiple viral antigens into highly immunogenic Virus-Like Particles (VLPs).

These non-infectious particles closely mimic the structural architecture of native viruses, enabling robust immune responses while maintaining a favourable safety profile.

Applications
  • + Infectious disease vaccines
  • + Pandemic preparedness programs
  • + Multivalent vaccine development
  • + Global health vaccine initiatives


D-Crypt™ circRNA-VLP Platform: Converging RNA Medicine and VLP Delivery

The latest evolution of D-Crypt™ integrates circular RNA (circRNA) technology with proprietary VLP delivery systems to create a next-generation platform for vaccines and therapeutics.

By combining the stability advantages of circRNA with the targeted delivery and immunogenic properties of VLPs, the platform is designed to enable durable protein expression and delivery of complex multi-gene payloads.


Applications
  • + Next-generation RNA vaccines
  • + Cancer immunotherapy
  • + Protein replacement therapies
  • + Gene and RNA medicines
  • + Rapid-response pandemic countermeasures


One Platform. Multiple Therapeutic Modalities.

From recombinant proteins to VLP vaccines and RNA therapeutics, D-Crypt™ provides a scalable technology foundation for developing the next generation of biologics designed to address global healthcare challenges.
