The facility will utilise highly efficient processes to manufacture clinical grade AAVs and provide all the necessary quality assurance, regulatory certification and governance. The facility will provide clinical grade material for human trials at Advanced Therapies Treatment Centres and NHS trusts within the GTIMC and the Gene Therapy Innovation Hubs network. 

The new facility will be constructed at the University of Sheffield’s innovation district near to the Advanced Manufacturing Research Centre (AMRC)

Timeline on construction:
