Sneak Peak of Biomanufacturing Facility

In the summer of 2023 Brian Lowery, VP & GM mRNA Vaccine and pDNA Operations, took us around to preview our new, cutting-edge biomanufacturing facility. The facility opened it’s doors in late 2023 and is fully operational. This cGMP facility boasts 36,000 square feet of state-of-the-art manufacturing space, vaccine and therapeutic production capacity for 160 million doses each year, and fill/finish capacity for 70 million doses per year for commercial distribution.
