Our facilities
Industry-leading facilities, experts and infrastructure to progress your innovations.
Our Labs
Digital and Automation Testbeds
Our Digital and Automation Testbeds are a unique, GMP-mirroring facility enabling the de-risked and accelerated testing, validation and adoption of next generation technologies for ATMP manufacture at scale.
The Testbeds provide a collaborative, real-world environment for systems innovators and therapy developers to unlock solutions to shared automation challenges, ensuring advanced therapies become more affordable to healthcare systems and more accessible for patients.
Process Analytical Technologies Laboratory
Our PAT Laboratory is a 100m2 facility providing digitally enabled, real-time analytical monitoring and control of advanced therapy manufacturing processes, to improve product quality, safety and process efficiency as you upscale production.
Our laboratory incorporates innovative in-line and at-line monitoring equipment, together with a multi-omics approach, to allow you to identify and assess critical process parameters in real-time, while state-of-the-art automation and digitalisation facilitate rapid control of your process.
Process and Analytical Development Laboratories
Our process and analytical development laboratories provide the collaborative environment, specialised equipment and people to overcome product development barriers, supporting you to progress your product to the next stage of the ATMP development pathway.
Our ATMP process technology capabilities include viral vector, stem cells, cell engineering, bioprocessing, analytical and GMP translation, providing solutions to the key technical challenges affecting ATMP development.
Skills and Training Laboratories
Our Skills and Training Laboratories (STL) cover 206m2 and are state-of-the-art facilities providing access to equipment and technology for GMP orientated upskilling and capability solutions. Courses offered at the facility range from fundamental lab skills to advanced bioprocessing techniques and quality control training, using innovative teaching resources including interactive Virtual and Augmented Reality technology.
Courses are available to local and national advanced therapy and biomanufacturing organisations, universities, schools and other higher education institutions for those looking to develop their laboratory skills or are just beginning their career in the cell and gene therapy industry.
Universal Design Laboratory
Our Universal Design Laboratory is the UK's first process development laboratory specifically designed with accessible features for scientists with mixed physical abilities. The laboratory provides an inclusive working environment for a diverse range of talented individuals to progress in their careers.
Leverage our in-house expertise in ATMP development to optimise your cell and gene therapy process, and our knowledge of universal design principles to enhance the usability of your scientific technology, within an accessible space that promotes universal design in science labs.
