Expert in GMP manufacturing of ATMPs and challenge agents

Center for Cell and Gene therapy

The Center for Cell and Gene Therapy (CCG) develops and manufactures advanced therapy medicinal products (ATMPs) and infectious challenge agents for clinical trials and patientcare. We bring academic cell and gene therapies from the lab to the patient by combining translational development, GMP manufacturing, quality control and regulatory expertise. We support researchers, clinicians and other partners working on therapies such as CAR-T cells, modified immune cells and gene-modified stem cells.

Whether you are an academic researcher, clinician, or other partner, we help you move your therapy toward the clinic. From the first idea to a release-ready product, our team guides you through every step. Visit the Services page to learn more.  

Equipment

Our GMP facility is equipped for the aseptic manufacturing and testing of cell and gene therapies. We work in GMP-classified cleanrooms with equipment for sterile cell processing, cryopreservation, controlled storage, and quality control testing, supported by continuous environmental monitoring. Visit the Equipment page for an overview of the equipment groups we use.
