Operational Highlights
| CRISPR License Agreement: Dyadic entered into a non-exclusive CRISPR/Cas9 license with ERS Genomics, expanding its genetic engineering capabilities to accelerate strain optimization and pathway enhancement across its proprietary production platforms. The agreement strengthens Dyadic's ability to improve productivity, product quality, and innovation for both internal programs and partner-driven applications. | ||
| Corporate Rebrand and Website Overhaul: Dyadic rebranded as Dyadic Applied BioSolutions and launched a redesigned corporate website to support commercial growth. The new platform enhances online ordering capabilities for research products, strengthens investor and business development engagement, and expands the company's digital presence and social media outreach. |
| Expanding Commercial Efforts in Asia: Dyadic advanced its international growth strategy by partnering with Intralink to expand in Japan and South Korea, both seen as growing biopharma markets. The initiative focuses on commercializing Dyadic's high-value animal-free proteins, including DNase1 and Transferrin, to address what is seen as rising regional demand for biologics and cell and gene therapy manufacturing inputs. | ||
| Peer-Reviewed Publication Validates C1 Platform for Vaccine Antigen Production: A study published in "Vaccine" (October 24, 2025) demonstrated the successful production and characterization of full-length SARS-CoV-2 spike protein using Dyadic's Thermothelomyces heterothallica (C1) platform. The C1-produced spike exhibited comparable structure, stability, and immunogenicity to mammalian cell-derived antigens, highlighting the platform's potential as a scalable and cost-efficient system for manufacturing complex glycoproteins and vaccine candidates. |
| Recombinant Serum Albumin: Dyadic, in collaboration with Proliant Health and Biologicals ("Proliant"), has supported the development of animal-free serum albumin which is expected to be commercially launched in late 2025 or early 2026 for use in diagnostic and research markets. Dyadic has received $1.5 million in milestone payments to date, including the third milestone payment of $0.5 million received in October 2025, and anticipates ongoing revenue sharing from future sales in 2026. | ||
| Recombinant Transferrin: Dyadic's animal-free transferrin has performed consistently with leading recombinant reference standards in cell proliferation testing for animal muscle cell growth. Designed as a high-quality, cost-effective, non-animal derived alternative to serum-derived transferrin, it targets applications in cell culture media, diagnostics, research, and bioprocessing. The Company is actively expanding validation efforts for diagnostic, research, and cell culture uses, with initial purchase orders expected by the end of 2025. |
| DNase-1 (RNase-free): Dyadic has completed production validation and is now manufacturing research-grade RNase-free DNase-1 for molecular diagnostics, biopharma, and related applications. Following successful scale-up, sampling is actively underway with initial purchase orders expected by the end of 2025. | ||
| Expanded Nucleic Acid Enzymes Portfolio: Dyadic continues to advance its portfolio of DNA/RNA manipulation enzymes, including RNase Inhibitors and T7 RNA Polymerase. Prototype development and validation have shown encouraging results, with ongoing optimization expected to yield additional improvements and data through late 2025 and into 2026. |
| Alpha-Lactalbumin: A key nutritional whey protein that supports healthy growth and cellular function in both infant and adult nutrition applications. Dyadic has agreed to terms with a non-animal dairy development company for the development of recombinant alpha-lactalbumin targeting the infant nutrition segment. The protein has demonstrated positive results in product qualification and application testing, with characterization ongoing and sampling for research and nutritional markets expected early 2026. | ||
| Human Lactoferrin: An iron-binding glycoprotein found in milk and other secretions, valued for its antimicrobial and immune-supporting properties and widely used in nutritional and health-related research. Dyadic has developed a stable cell line, with continued optimization and characterization underway, and sampling for research use will begin in early 2026. | ||
| Non-Animal Dairy Enzymes: In Q3 2025, Dyadic received a $250,000 milestone payment from Inzymes for productivity achievements for a second enzyme, bringing total payments received from Inzymes to $1.275 million. Scale-up and commercialization efforts for the first enzyme are progressing toward a late 2025 or early 2026 launch, with additional enzymes in development under the existing license agreement. |
| In partnership with Fermbox Bio, Dyadic launched EN3ZYME in May 2024-an enzyme cocktail for converting agricultural residue into fermentable cellulosic sugars, produced using the Dapibus production platform. Initial enzyme deliveries have been completed under Fermbox's purchase order, Dyadic is to receive a 50/50 profit share from commercial sales. | ||
| Sampling efforts are currently underway and have expanded into healthcare applications, with ongoing negotiations in the biomass processing, biofuels, and pulp & paper markets to broaden adoption and explore new enzyme development opportunities. |
| Gates Foundation Collaboration: Dyadic has achieved key milestones in developing low-cost monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) for malaria and RSV receiving a total of approximately $2.4 million funding from a $3 million grant. Early data show C1-produced mAbs perform comparably to mAbs produced from traditional CHO cell lines. | ||
| CEPI-Fondazione Biotecnopolo di Siena: Advancing under a $4.5 million CEPI grant, Dyadic is eligible for up to $2.4 million to support antigen design, cell line development, and cGMP scale-up for vaccines and antibodies. | ||
| European Vaccines Hub: The 170 million EU-backed initiative led by Dr. Rino Rappuoli is assessing C1 for its potential to accelerate timelines, boost productivity, and reduce costs in vaccine and antibody manufacturing. | ||
| Uvax Bio Collaboration: Backed by a $2.6 million CEPI grant, this program is evaluating C1 for rapid, cost-effective MERS vaccine production. | ||
| AdaptVac Consortium: A $12.4 million CEPI and Horizon Europe-funded initiative integrating C1 to develop broad-spectrum filovirus vaccines, underscoring C1's speed, scalability, and cost-efficiency. |
