Facility Tour – Ultragenyx
0830 - 1300 | $75
Ultragenyx recently opened a state-of-the-art gene therapy manufacturing facility (GTMF) in Bedford, MA. The 110,000ft2 facility was designed for the manufacture of clinical and commercial Pinnacle PCL and HEK platform gene therapy products. The facility is comprised of a drug substance manufacturing suite, a drug product manufacturing suite, central services and support areas, a cGMP warehouse, satellite Quality Control labs, mechanical spaces, and offices.
The GTMF was designed with patients in mind, focused on delivering treatments to rare disease patients as quickly as possible. This is demonstrated by the implementation of single-use equipment and utility panels in ballroom-style processing areas for greater flexibility and quick turnaround of the manufacturing areas.
Tour attendees can expect to see an operational AAV gene therapy manufacturing facility, from warehouse operations to drug substance and drug product manufacturing areas. They will learn a little about what makes the GTMF facility design unique and some challenges that we faced along the way [COVID-19] to deliver the facility on time and on budget.
