Phosphorex, NOF CORPORATION, NeoSome Life Sciences, NIS, and Envol Biomedical Unite to Form the LNP Alliance—Accelerating Lipid Nanoparticle Drug Development

Hopkinton, MA – May 8, 2025 – In a groundbreaking collaboration, Phosphorex, NOFCORPORATION, NeoSome Life Sciences, NanoImaging Services (NIS), and EnvolBiomedical have joined forces to establish the LNP Alliance, a strategicpartnership dedicated to advancing lipid nanoparticle (LNP) technology andaccelerating the development of next-generation therapeutics.

The LNP Alliance brings together deep scientific expertise, proprietary lipid innovations, world-class formulation capabilities and analytical and drug efficacy services to support biopharma and biotech companies in overcoming drug development challenges. By combining forces, theLNP Alliance provides a comprehensive, end-to-end solution encompassing lipidsynthesis, formulation development, process optimization, analytical characterization, and manufacturing support—enabling partners to efficiently move from discovery to clinical success.

“The LNP Alliance represents a unique convergence of industry leaders, each bringing specialized expertise to drive innovation in LNP-based drug development,” said Jarlath Keating, CEO of Phosphorex. “By working together, we provide a comprehensive solution that allows our partners to develop more effective therapies, faster.”

As a unified force in LNP innovation, the LNPAlliance offers:

  • Access to proprietary ionizable lipids and excipients for optimized drug delivery
  • Expert formulation and process development to enhance LNP stability and efficacy\Integrated analytical and manufacturing capabilities for streamlined scale-up
  • Integrated analytical and manufacturing capabilities for streamlined scale-up
  • Cryo-TEM imaging for nanoparticle characterization
  • Bio distribution, efficacy, and toxicology evaluations in multiple animal models, including Non-Human Primates 

“With our extensive experience in lipid chemistry and drug delivery technologies, NOF is proud to be part of this transformative initiative,” said Yuji Yamamoto, General Manager of NOF CORPORATION. “The LNP Alliance allows us to collaborate closely with industry partners to advance new therapeutics and bring real value to patients.”

The launch of the LNP Alliance underscores the commitment of Phosphorex, NOF CORPORATION, NeoSome Life Sciences, NIS and Envol Biomedical to shaping the future of LNP-based drug development. Together, they are driving innovation, accelerating timelines, and empowering biopharma companies to bring groundbreaking treatments to patients in need.
