PEG Reagent
Expertise

Improve the Performace of Your Drug Substance

Gannet BioChem leverages more than 30 years of history as a leader in polyethylene glycol (PEG) reagents. Our founders were some of the first to identify the potential of PEGylation to unlock performance in small molecule and biologic drugs through bioavailability enhancement, reduced immunogenicity, optimized pharmacokinetics, and improved stability.

Multi-Modality Capabilities in a Leading Life Sciences Hub

Our business has continuously operated in Huntsville, Alabama – originally as Shearwater Polymers and subsequently as a subsidiary of Nektar Therapeutics. We have a long track record of providing custom-developed PEG reagents that enable and enhance performance in many modalities, including peptides, proteins, and antibody fragments.

Research through Commercial Manufacturing Expertise

Our built-for-purpose, FDA-inspected facility offers flexible manufacturing that can efficiently deliver reagents from small-scale to commercial product volumes, with scale-up to support molecules as they advance through development. Our long-tenured team has delivered PEG reagents supporting the supply chains of nine commercially approved therapeutics.
