Meridian Life Science,® Inc., through our four brands: BIODESIGN International, OEM Concepts, Viral Antigens and Meridian Biologics, is a leading supplier and manufacturer of antibodies, viral antigens and critical assay reagents. We provide contract biological R&D and manufacturing services to the research and diagnostic markets along with cGMP biologics manufacturing for the biopharmaceutical market. We have been providing innovative life science solutions and building trusted partnerships for over 25 years. Our focus is to provide products and services that help to advance the diagnosis and treatment of disease.
Growth strategies for Meridian Life Science, Inc. include: (i) developing new product applications from existing technologies; and (ii) acquisition or licensing of biologicals and technologies for development of new products. Contract manufacturing of proteins and other biologicals for biopharmaceutical and biotechnology companies engaged in research for new drugs and vaccines is an example of significant new product applications built from Meridian’s existing expertise in manufacturing bulk antigens and reagents using cell culture techniques. This business focuses on contract manufacturing of materials that will be used in Phase I and II clinical trials.
The Life Science operating segment has targeted three primary market segments for its products and services: bulk biomedical reagents, drug and vaccine discovery, and drug and vaccine development. The customer base for bulk biomedical reagents is large and fragmented, and includes some of the largest diagnostic manufacturers in the world as well as researchers in academia and the pharmaceutical and biotechnology industries. The market segments for drug and vaccine discovery and development are intended to be served via contract manufacturing.
