Company

Built by a biologics and radiopharmaceutical CMC leader.

DuraRad is developed by FabUTech LLC, a development-stage biotechnology company based in St. Louis, Missouri.

Chris Wiley

Founder and CEO

Chris Wiley is a pharmaceutical CMC leader with more than a decade in biologics formulation, process development, and radiopharmaceutical manufacturing. His career began in radiopharmaceuticals: two years in Dr. Thomas Quinn's nuclear translational medicine lab at the University of Missouri, radiolabeling peptides and bacteriophage for cancer imaging and therapy and following candidates into PET studies in animal models.

He then spent eleven years at Pfizer in biologics drug product development, ultimately as CMC Drug Product Development Lead. He contributed to three FDA-approved biologics, serving as drug product CMC lead for fidanacogene elaparvovec (BEQVEZ), Pfizer's first gene therapy, and authored and reviewed drug product sections across more than twenty approved global regulatory submissions.

He returned to radiopharmaceuticals as Global CMC Lead for the Zircaix BLA at Telix Pharmaceuticals, the first full-length, Zr-89-radiolabeled monoclonal antibody to undergo FDA priority review. That path runs straight into DuraRad: radiopharmaceuticals fail on stability in ways that biologics-grade CMC discipline is built to catch, and the failure happens in the container. DuraRad is the answer built from that vantage point.

The thesis

Bring biologics-grade CMC discipline to the stability problems that are specific to radiopharmaceuticals, and solve them in the container, where the damage happens.

Leadership

The operating team.

FabUTech runs lean by design. The founder leads the science and the company, and finance is run by a fractional CFO under contract.

Jared Johnson — Fractional CFO, FabUTech LLC.

Fractional CFO

Jared Johnson

CPA; formerly CFO, Larson Financial Holdings

A CPA whose career spans leadership roles at Anheuser-Busch InBev and Mastercard, Jared was most recently CFO of Larson Financial Holdings. He led FabUTech's finances through a critical early chapter and now runs finance as fractional CFO under contract, as the company scales.

Advisory board

The team around the technology.

FabUTech is backed by advisors who have carried radiopharmaceuticals into the clinic and scaled and exited companies. They shape the science, the strategy, and the go-to-market.

  • Dr. Thomas P. Quinn — Professor Emeritus of Biochemistry, University of Missouri

    Scientific Advisor

    Dr. Thomas P. Quinn

    Professor Emeritus of Biochemistry, University of Missouri

    For more than 35 years, Tom's lab has developed radiolabeled peptides, proteins, and silica nanoparticles for cancer imaging and therapy, with work carried into the clinic through collaborations with Memorial Sloan Kettering and Cornell. He gave Chris his first exposure to radioligands and PET drugs, and his understanding of the very molecules DuraRad is built to protect shapes our scientific strategy.

Why it matters

Stability is the whole company.

Every radiopharmaceutical dose is racing its own decay clock. Radiolysis moves that clock up, and the hours it takes are hours a dose cannot travel.

Hold purity longer in the vial and a production run reaches farther from its source. FabUTech exists to win back that reach, by solving the problem in the container where the damage happens.
