Welcome to Six.02.
Our mission is to bring together and manage a family of companies focused on delivering best-in-class specialized services that optimize productivity and mitigate risk for protein-based innovators across the life sciences.
By concentrating these companies under one management organization, we aim to create greater value for our clients through a coordinated continuum of unsurpassed quality, communication, efficiency, and service satisfaction spanning concept through early-phase manufacturing.
OUR STORY.
The growing success of gene- and protein-based human and veterinary biopharmaceuticals and vaccines as well as diagnostic products across the life sciences is driving increased demand for services that support the design, synthesis, expression, quantification, modification, and production of proteins and protein-related molecules.
Since proteins are generated in living cells, protein production is highly complex, often requiring post-translational modifications to enhance their bio-activity. Expressing proteins in quantity and developing the sophisticated purification processes that will ensure purity while retaining activity and yield present challenges that require specialized expertise to resolve in a short time frame.
We built Six.02 Bioservices to assemble a family of companies that are focused exclusively on supporting innovators addressing the complex challenges of developing protein-based products—and to create a more efficient and reliable new model for how they access these services. Our goal is to drive greater quality, efficiency, and client satisfaction into the delivery of protein-based bioservices.
Our Approach.
All Six.02 member companies will work within a recognized Quality Management System (such as ISO9001 or 13485) and are defined by five fundamental principles:
All-encompassing client satisfaction is the top priority of every Six.02 company. Each company follows the Six.02 “Framework of Quality Service and Project Management” that drives and monitors the operational and technical approach on every project. From initial concepting, through mutually developed milestones, to project delivery and final report, the framework tracks and reports on:
- Project timelines
- Development steps and milestones, including interim deliverables
- Quality control and tracking of project status and performance
- Milestone-based communications
In addition to ensuring appropriate oversight of quality, costs, and deliverables on current projects, this framework enables us to improve our systems, services, and planning for future projects—ensuring that we provide each project the appropriate staff and services, improving accuracy of workflow planning and forecasting, and preemptively identifying and mitigating specific risks.
Six.02 companies have proven expertise in providing customized solutions to unique protein-related challenges. Each Six.02 company provides a focused set of services and/or products recognized as “top of the game” within the industry. Our member companies are intentionally small—typically less than 25 staff—to maintain a “small-company atmosphere” that is lean, efficient, high-performing, and agile in adapting to shifting trends and developments in bioservices R&D. Our model ensures that clients always have the “A” team—the most experienced, highly skilled specialists—working on their project with the personalized attention, rapid response, and flexibility required to meet product development timelines.
Six.02 companies maintain a very high level of communication and interaction with clients to ensure that clients feel in control of their projects while our team focuses on hitting quality goals and timelines. Our project management teams provide full visibility into project progress through regular milestone-based updates, enabling us to anticipate emerging client requirements, make timely adjustments that help keep projects on track, and deploy rapid corrective decision-making when encountering unexpected events.
Six.02 companies cultivate an environment in which trained and knowledgeable staff feel invested in the success of each client’s project, working as a focused extension of the client’s lab. Staff are encouraged to think entrepreneurially (by, for example, finding ways to reduce the number of steps in a process), work in a highly disciplined and efficient way, exchange ideas with colleagues to gain a faster path to solutions, take informed risks that might drive new insights, determine where the potential is to add value in a given project, and respond to challenges and opportunities with agility, while adhering to our “Framework of Quality and Project Management” standards.
To enable cutting edge-science and drive improvements in efficiency, speed, and accuracy demanded by life sciences companies, Six.02 member companies continually seek and invest in leading-edge technologies as well as actively promote the development of “best practices” for their operating models, facilities, and equipment, including automated technologies that streamline workflows, enhance reproducibility, and minimize variability. Six.02 provides strategic direction and leverages resources to drive state-of-the-art operations and best practices in all its member companies, which enhances the level of client services and support that each company would be able to offer alone.
