"Pioneering cell-free DNA manufacturing for faster, safer genetic medicine development"
Touchlight manufactures synthetic DNA using proprietary dbDNA™ technology, a cell-free enzymatic process that eliminates bacterial fermentation. This delivers high-purity DNA faster and at scale, supporting developers of mRNA therapies, viral vectors, gene editing tools, and DNA vaccines. The platform removes constraints like antibiotics and cell banking, enabling cleaner products and shorter timelines from research grade to GMP standards. Founded in 2007, Touchlight operates the world's first GMP licensed cell-free DNA facility in Hampton, UK. The company has produced over 1,500 batches and partners with Bayer, Pfizer, GSK, and Lonza to advance genetic medicine, addressing rising global demand for scalable DNA manufacturing.
