Achieve higher yields, improve quality & scalability with Viral Sensitizers (VSE™)

About us

Cell and gene therapies, as well as viral vaccines, need higher production yields—and that's where we excel. We significantly increase yields by targeting the innate cellular defenses within production cells. These natural defenses, designed to combat foreign genetic material and inhibit viral replication, can hinder your process. Our solution is a unique panel small molecules which make up our Viral Sensitizer (VSETM) platform, which dampen cellular defenses. Using an innovative high-throughput screening process, we have developed a library of novel VSEs. Virica continues to leverage this advanced technology to pinpoint the most synergistic Viral Sensitizer molecules from our library, tailored to any virus or cell line. We customize formulations of these Viral Sensitizers to enhance virus yield in your manufacturing process or optimize the effectiveness of your viral therapies. The result is higher yields and improved quality, helping to reduce costs and improve patient access.

  • 💡 It’s time we look beyond traditional veterinary vaccines. Viral vectors are already delivering real wins across species and hinting at what’s next. Standouts across species: ✔️ Poultry: fowlpox-based avian influenza vaccines with durable flock protection ✔️ Dogs: adenoviral vectors for canine distemper ✔️ Cattle: herpesvirus vectors for IBR ✔️ Aquaculture: DNA/vector constructs tailored to fish pathogens From bench to barn, can it scale? 🔸 Scale-up remains complex; platforms aren’t equally “factory-ready.” 🔸 Lentiviral vectors face well-known large-scale hurdles 🔸 Delivery tech can waste dose (e.g., microneedles) and add variability 🔸 Pre-existing anti-vector immunity complicates boosting Beyond today’s toolbox, what's next? 🔹 Smarter vectors that broaden tropism and dodge immunity 🔹 Stability-focused delivery and next-gen adjuvants 🔹 Species-tuned formulations guided by systems biology 🔹 One-Health strategies targeting zoonoses and cross-species threats Here's the bottom line Viral vector vaccines are maturing in animal health, but scaling, vector neutralization, and reproducible delivery are the bottlenecks. The next leap comes from pairing smarter vectors with manufacturing built for scale. At Virica, we provide a simple solution to achieve manufacturing scale: Our VSE™ boost viral vector yield and quality. Make scaling your innovative animal health therapies a reality without changing your process. If you’re at the Animal Health Summit in Kansas next week, let’s connect! #AnimalHealth #Vaccines #ViralVectors #Biomanufacturing #VetMed

    We believe in empowering our team members to support initiatives that promote social well-being and community resilience. Patrick Miron has taken this to heart through his work managing Taekwondo camps in Nunavik. "I would like to extend my sincere gratitude to Virica for their ongoing support, particularly in their flexible approach to my work schedule. Virica’s support has been instrumental in allowing me to manage the Taekwondo camps in Nunavik, in alignment with their commitment to fostering safe and healthy communities through initiatives like the Makivvik Ungaluk Safer Communities Program. I appreciate Virica’s dedication to promoting culturally appropriate measures that support social well-being and crime prevention in Nunavik." We’re proud to support initiatives that strengthen communities and empower our people to make a difference.
