TxCell SA , a biotechnology company developing innovative, personalized cellular immunotherapies using regulatory T-cells to treat severe chronic inflammatory and autoimmune diseases, announces today the launch of its new process industrialization laboratories and technology transfer academy facilities in Sophia Antipolis, France.

These new facilities will be primarily dedicated to the improvement of the existing TxCell manufacturing process for its ASTrIA platform as well as to the development of a manufacturing process for its new ENTrIA platform. These developments will be primarily achieved by combining the integration into the manufacturing process of findings from TxCell research with industry advancements in the life science and technology industries. The outcome will be an increase in automation and economic efficiencies as well as a shortening of the manufacturing process of all TxCell products across all of its platforms. 

“TxCell is the only clinical stage cellular therapy company dedicated to the science of regulatory T lymphocytes (Tregs). As a result, TxCell is integrating its own research with recent technological advancements across a variety of fields to make the manufacturing process of our product portfolio as economic as possible,” said Miguel Forte, COO of TxCell. “The new TxCell facilities will be dedicated to accelerating the development of the commercial manufacturing process for products that result from the TxCell ASTrIA platform. In addition, it will allow the development of a new manufacturing process for products derived from the new TxCell ENTrIA platform.”

The facilities will also host the TxCell Academy for Technology Transfer. The academy will be responsible for educating and training all contract manufacturing partners (CMOs, including MaSTherCell). In addition, the academy will train future strategic partners (licensed and/or co-developing pharmaceutical companies) on the manufacturing processes of TxCell’s personalized cellular therapies. This will have the aim of facilitating and accelerating all transfer of TxCell technologies to third parties.  

These new facilities will be based in Sophia Antipolis, in the premises of GenBiotech, an affiliate company of the Genevrier Laboratories.
