A Facility Built to Bring Your Science to a Product that is Manufacturable
NueCell Bio operates a purpose-built, 26,300-square-foot cell therapy development facility in San Diego’s Sorrento Valley, designed from the ground up to translate early science into products and GMP-ready manufacturing. We specified every aspect for cell therapy development under an appropriate quality management system before the first program moved in.
Inside the Facility
The facility houses dedicated cell engineering, bioprocessing, analytical, molecular biology, and cell banking labs and operates under an ISO 9001 Quality Management System—the same quality backbone that carries each client program from early development through GMP technology transfer.
Across both floors, a breadth of instruments and equipment supports active programs, with segregated air, material, waste, and personnel flows, and utility corridors with centralized utility distribution. Â
