Gritgen Therapeutics co-founder and CEO Dr Wu Fenglan stated: “The validation and operational launch of our GMP facility represents a pivotal juncture for Gritgen, which provides an important vector foundation for the company to realise commercialisation.

“At present, a bottleneck of gene therapy is the manufacturing process, a challenge resonating globally.

“The production capacity of large-scale, high-quality, cost-controllable vectors is an important driving force for the development of the gene therapy industry.”
