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.
