The 65,000-square-foot facility is designed with the capacity and capability to help scale the next generation of CGTs for human trials and beyond.
eXmoor pharma, the full-service cell and gene therapy (CGT) manufacturing partner, launched its new Cell and Gene Therapy Centre good manufacturing practice (GMP) facility on Oct. 11, 2023 to support the production of multiple therapies for clinical trials. According to the press release, the 65,000-square-foot facility is designed with the capacity and capability to help scale the next generation of CGTs for human trials and beyond. It is also the final step in eXmoor’s expansion into a full-service CGT contract development and manufacturing organization (CDMO).
“The opening of this facility marks a landmark achievement for us, as we bring our 19 years of translation consulting and process development experience to directly enable the rapid development of life changing therapies in the UK [United Kingdom] and beyond,” said Angela Osborne, CEO of eXmoor, in a press release. “To date, we have completed more than 500 projects, including the design of 37 CGT manufacturing facilities. Our Cell and Gene Therapy Centre represents the culmination of all that experience.”
The new facility based in Bristol was constructed in 14 months to fully expedite more GMP manufacturing facilities in the CGT space, according to the release. The new Cell and Gene Therapy Center is specialized in labs for clients’ process and analytical development with the capability for technology transfer to GMP production on the same site.
The area includes:
The facility has also been designed with no fossil fuel usage on site, relying instead on solar technology and heat pumps, according to the press release.
