Partnering to Advance Cell Therapies

At the Marcus Center of Excellence for Cell Biomanufacturing, we pair world‑class research with practical manufacturing know‑how. Whether you’re an early‑stage researcher or an established clinical team, our approach is to connect the right expertise and deliver high-quality cell manufacturing. 

Our work together with the Marcus Center under the NCI STTR Fast Track Program facilitated the assessment of off-the-shelf manufacturing solutions that could support scalability of our macrophage-based cell therapy platform. Their team brought strong biological and technical expertise and was consistently communicative, collaborative and a pleasure to work with. We appreciate their contribution in supporting our mission to treat and provide hope to patients with cancer and beyond."
