Milan FACILITIES

The two facilities that make up AGC Biologics' Milan campus were the first cell and gene therapy facilities approved in Europe for GMP manufacturing of clinical and commercial supply (2003 and 2015, respectively).

AGC Biologics brings technical expertise to develop and optimize every aspect of cell therapy and viral vector gene therapy. Our services range from the production of plasmid DNA (at our Heidelberg facility), necessary for the transfection of cell production, to the engineering of cells through the use of produced viral vectors.

Our technical know-how allows us to bring small-scale platforms to scalable industrial manufacturing, ensuring process robustness and commercial viability. With experience manufacturing four commercial products, we are the only cell and gene therapy CDMO which has brought its own product to the market (Zalmoxis®).
