VGXI Celebrates the Grand Opening for Their New Small Scale cGMP Production Facility
The Woodlands, TX (PRWEB) June 02, 2016 -- VGXI, Inc., a leading contract manufacturer of clinical-grade plasmid DNA, announced the completion and grand opening of their facility expansion which includes a new small scale cGMP production plant. U.S. Congressman Kevin Brady attended the Ribbon Cutting Ceremony on May 31, 2016 to celebrate the grand opening and recognize VGXI’s contribution to the global pharmaceutical community. As a contract manufacturing organization since 2003, VGXI has supported the development of new cancer gene therapies and DNA vaccines for critical emerging diseases including Ebola, MERS, and Zika.
The Ribbon Cutting was attended by many representatives of the local and Texas biotechnology communities, including Mr. Tom Kowalski, President and CEO of the Texas Healthcare and Bioscience Institute (THBI), and Ms. Ann Tanabe, CEO of BioHouston.
“VGXI’s clients are developing the next generation of cancer therapies and vaccines,” said Young Park, CEO of VGXI and GeneOne Life Science. “We are proud to support both our client’s needs and the community of The Woodlands with this expansion.”
The new cGMP plant at VGXI is fully equipped to support fermentation capacities from 10L to 40L, and full scale purification of clinical-grade plasmid DNA. Combined with VGXI’s existing 500L scale production facility, the second cGMP plant provides greater manufacturing capacity as well as flexibility for multiple client campaigns to run in parallel. Ultimately, this expansion enables VGXI to continue to meet the growing global demand for DNA-based pharmaceuticals.
