More Pharma Arts Reporting, Please

July 20, 2015 | A version of this story appeared in Volume 93, Issue 29

I read “Schooled in the Pharma Arts” with interest (C&EN, May 25, page 12). However, only Waisman Biomanufacturing is highlighted as a contract manufacturing organization making gene therapy drugs.

I am surprised by how many medical centers and universities have cooperated to create small Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP) production areas to make viral-based gene therapy drugs within hospitals. These facilities are establishing new methods to make and deliver genes to clinical trials with a small number of patients. Have you previously reported on this group of GMP facilities?
