Cell and gene therapies and mRNA development and manufacturing
Cell and gene therapies are poised to serve a global patient population. However, companies working in this space face challenges in terms of supply chain complexity. The close proximity of manufacturing to patients is key for the success of many cell and gene therapies.
As part of our global network of manufacturing sites, our facility in Geleen in the Netherlands helps you overcome this challenge. The site provides flexible capacity and serves customers who need a European manufacturing footprint.
We have significant expertise in cell and gene therapy manufacturing having supported a number of commercial autologous cell therapy products in Europe. We are committed to using our expertise to help you develop and commercialize your products quickly and efficiently, so that you can ultimately deliver therapy to patients in need of treatment. Since 2021 we have also implemented mRNA / LNP technology on site.
