Andelyn Biosciences is a biopharmaceutical Contract Development and Manufacturing Organization (CDMO) that specializes in advancing novel gene therapies from concept to commercialization.  Located in Columbus, OH, the company operates out of the Andelyn Corporate Center (ACC) for clinical and commercial cGMP manufacturing of viral vectors and plasmids and the Andelyn Development Center (ADC) for preclinical non-cGMP activities.

 Our Values are founded in our origin story.

The name “Andelyn” is a hybrid of two gene therapy patients who participated in pivotal Phase I clinical trials at Nationwide Children’s Hospital. Andrew received the first U.S. investigational gene therapy for Duchenne muscular dystrophy in 2006. Evelyn received experimental gene therapy for spinal muscular atrophy in 2015. “Andelyn” combines their names to represent all the families who have courageously participated in the research that makes today’s gene therapies possible. 

Through this journey, we have been able to accelerate the development and manufacturing of innovative therapies to bring more treatments to more patients. We are Turning Hope Into Reality™ through our ACCTSions.
