We now have three manufacturing facilities in China (Beijing, Shanghai, and Wuxi) with a total GMP capacity of 70,000 square feet, which prepares us for scaled-up demand for our current and future CAR-T clinical studies. The ability to produce all plasmids and viral vectors in-house with a high yield, automated, closed cell culture system and integrated Chemistry, Manufacturing, and Controls (“CMC”) processes, provides us with a key differentiator in the CAR-T and regenerative medicine space. “
“In addition to our state-of-the-art facilities, we are very privileged to partner with leaders in the biopharmaceutical, digital and manufacturing fields, and look forward to reaping a mutual benefit from the wealth of data and shared knowledge.
