Developing best practice in cell therapy manufacturing

The amc (Advanced therapy medicinal products Manufacturing Community) was formed in September 2010 for the emerging cell therapy industry. Whilst the UK is excellent in scientific development of cell therapies robust manufacturing processes, essential to establishing industry, now need to be developed.

The amc aims to build a critical mass that will;

• Share non commercial information so that members can learn from the experience of others

• Develop best practice to reduce the barriers to cell therapy manufacture

• Inform and influence regulators and suppliers through a single consistent voice representing the industry

• Showcase UK GMP capacity to make it easy for developers (national and international) to find a facility which best meets their demands

We already have 70 members who represent cell manufacturing facilities and processes in academia and industry. We share ideas and discuss solutions in our bi-annual technical meetings and our Linkedin forum.

Over the coming months we will be growing our web presence to include information such as the UK capacity database, a supplier list, industry news and a forum for members to share information, ideas, experience and processes. If you are active in ATMP manufacture and would like to join our community please contact us.
