Webinar - Introducing the First ATP GMP Facility in Hong Kong

Dr Daniel Lee, Vice-President and Chief Innovation and Enterprise Officer, Office of Innovation and Enterprise of the Chinese University of Hong Kong, introduced the first Advanced Therapy Product (ATP) Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) facility in Hong Kong to our members on 13 January 2022. Attracting 46 industry professionals, Dr Lee briefed our members about the operation model, scope and the services provided by the CUHK ATP GMP centre.

The facility aims to accelerate the development of ATPs from bench-to-bedside, while stimulating the testing and commercialisation process. Clinical trials in cell-based cancer therapies such as chimeric antigen receptor T-cell (CAR-T) and stem cell-based regenerative therapies will be the initial focus of the facility. As part of the launch, relevant scientists and operators will receive training to operate, audit and regulate both the facility, and the products manufactured.
