GTP Technology is a biotech company dedicated to provide tailor-made solutions for the engineering and expression of recombinant proteins. The company was set up in 2000 by Eric Devic (Pharm.D. PhD) as a spin out from the Protein Engineering Department of P. Sabatier University in Toulouse, France.
GTP Technology offers its customers a comprehensive set of services for recombinant proteins, from gene cloning to protein production and purification and also, now, structural analysis with the Eiffel Biostructure platform. In addition, the company has extended its range of services and offers Real-Time PCR protocols development or optimization.
GTP Technology is renowned for its expertise - more than 200 proteins produced up to now - and for the quality of its services. As a result, the company has become one of the privileged partners of the main French pharmaceutical, biotech and food companies.
GTP Technology is located in Labege (near Toulouse), France. To contact us :
