VGXI Celebrates Grand Opening of New Flex-Scale Production Plant for GMP RNA and DNA Therapeutics Manufacturing

THE WOODLANDS, Texas, Nov. 7, 2018 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- VGXI, an industry recognized plasmid DNA contract manufacturing organization, announced the grand opening of a facility expansion which includes flexible scale plasmid DNA manufacturing space as well as purpose-built GMP production areas for RNA synthesis.

Increasing the company's footprint by 17% and cGMP manufacturing space by over 70%, this expansion was initiated in anticipation of the recently finalized license and partnership with Houston Methodist Research Institute (HMRI).

The ribbon cutting ceremony held Friday, November 2nd 2018 was attended by U.S. Congressman Kevin Brady as well representatives of the Texas biotechnology community, including BioHouston CEO, Ann Tanabe. During the ceremony Congressman Brady presented VGXI's President and CEO Young Park with a Commendation on behalf of the U.S. House of Representatives for the company's continued contributions to the biotechnology industry and local community.

In response to the growing success and worldwide demand for gene based medicines, VGXI has continued to improve and broaden their services with three facility expansions in just the past 4 years. According to CEO Mr. Park, "The current expansion is just one part of the company's overall plan to keep pace with industry. We are already evaluating locations for VGXI's next phase facility for commercial DNA and RNA production."
