FUJIFILM Cellular Dynamics Inc. has opened its new human-induced pluripotent stem cells development and manufacturing facility in Madison.
The new Madison site is expected to quadruple the capacity for the company’s research products and services manufacturing footprint.
“FUJIFILM Cellular Dynamics is a Wisconsin success story,” Governor Tony Evers said in a statement. “Thanks to James Thomson’s pioneering stem cell research at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, collaboration between our state’s public and private sectors and global partnerships to carry this innovation forward, we are celebrating not only the growth of one company, but our state’s leadership throughout the fields of biohealth and biotechnology.”
The 175,000-square-foot building integrates cell culture manufacturing laboratories, process development laboratories and a center of excellence for gene editing. They support both research-grade iPSC products and development services for partners developing next-generation cell therapies.
