University Health Network – Centre for Cell and Vector Production
Creating the building blocks for breakthrough therapies
Science + Technology
Located within Toronto’s MaRS Discovery District, the Centre for Cell and Vector Production manufactures cells and viral vectors—vital components of clinical trials for promising new cell therapies and gene therapies. To produce multiple product lines while avoiding cross-contamination, the CCVP is designed as a series of controlled Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) environments: cell and vector production is segregated within ten individual Class 10,000 clean rooms, each adaptable to exacting requirements. Production facilities are augmented by a dedicated quality testing laboratory and a 25,000-vial cryogenic storage facility.
