Vecura Manufacture
Vecura – An Infrastructure for Development and Manufacturing of ATMPs.
The project involves development of three different GMP-compliant processes used in manufacturing of ATMPs.
Period: 09/2021 – 08/2023
Lead: Pontus Blomberg, Karolinska University Hospital
Involved partners: Cytiva, Karolinska institutet, VivaBioCell, NEOGAP AB
- Subproject – Expansion of GMP Compliant Tumor Infiltrating Lymphocytes (TILs) in Xuri bioreactor (continuation)
- Subproject – Expansion of GMP-compliant adaptive T-cells in bioreactor
- This project aims towards the establishment of an automated closed system for manufacturing of adoptive T- cells for cancer treatment.
- Time period: 09/2021 – 08/2023.
- Lead: Pontus Blomberg, Karolinska University Hospital.
- Involved partners: NEOGAP AB, VivaBioCell
- Subproject – Cell processing of NK-cells using Sepax cell processing instrument
- The project will explore the feasibility of the applications of the Sepax C-Pro in the CellProtect work-flow including procurement of cells, thawing and resuspension and harvest from bioreactor.
- Time period: 09/2021 – 08/2023.
- Lead: Pontus Blomberg, Karolinska University Hospital.
- Involved partners: XNK AB, Cytiva AB
