Therapeutic Cell Production Core (TCPC)

TCPC Overview 

The Therapeutic Cell Production Core (TCPC) specializes in translating laboratory discoveries into real-world treatments. It is one of only a very few pediatric facilities in the U.S. that meet the FDA's strict Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) requirements for manufacturing therapeutic cell products.

 

The TCPC's state-of-the-art amenities include a 4,700-square-foot clean room space, a quality control lab and a process development lab. The TCPC's expert team helps researchers navigate every step in the process of adapting research laboratory methods to a manufacturing environment, including required release testing, final product characterization and regulatory support.
