uniQure B.V. has announced it has commenced build-out of a 55,000 ft2  US manufacturing plant in Lexington, Mass., for the production of commercial grade Adeno Associated Virus (AAV)-based gene therapy products to complement its current EMA-approved site in Amsterdam, the Netherlands. The company expects the facility to be operational by early 2015.
