Fresenius Kabi joins ARPA-H program to stabilize biologic medicines
What happened
The Advanced Research Projects Agency for Health (ARPA-H) awarded Draper up to $7.3 million for Phase 1 of its BioStabilization Systems (BoSS) program. BoSS aims to develop new methods for producing, storing, and transporting cell-based biologic medicines at room temperature. Fresenius Kabi is listed as a performer on the Reversible Ambient Temperature team for the program.

Why it matters
Biologic treatments are complex medical products that are extremely fragile and require expensive, complex ultra-cold storage, which limits their availability. The BoSS program seeks to overcome this temperature barrier by pursuing new technologies for storage and transport. Fresenius Kabi's participation in this funded program relates to the development of new methods for biologic supply chains.
