FairJourney Biologics specializes in providing services in antibody and antigen discovery, production and engineering. Its dynamic culture means the company enjoys robust partnerships with the biotech and pharma industries, academia, and other virtual online operations. More than 100 scientists in the lab, and a high-profile network of advisors, have all helped realize more than 500 successful projects.

The market leader in the discovery and optimization of antibodies has expanded its facilities with a brand-new purpose-built research center in Porto, Portugal. The new premises support the company’s expansion and plans for further growth, covering an area of over 200,000 square feet, with 140 fully equipped laboratories, meeting rooms and social areas, as well as green spaces and leisure areas.

Garcia Garcia construction was responsible for the architecture and engineering and delivery of the project. The building’s unique façade was modelled on the IgG1 antibody – a primary component and symbol of the invaluable research work undertaken by the Porto biotech company.

 Effisus SealExpand was integral to the project and was applied to seal the façade joints and prevent damage from water leakage.
