Protein Sciences Corporation is a biotech company based in Meriden, Connecticut. The company develops and produces vaccines and biopharmaceuticals for use against influenza and other diseases. Protein Sciences has developed a novel method for vaccine production, using a genetically modified baculovirus that is allowed to reproduce in insect cells.[1][2] This method reduces the lead time for vaccine production to six to eight weeks, considerably shorter than the conventional, egg-based, method.[3]
