Commencement of construction for innovative gene and cell treatment facility
In the heart of Berlin, preparations are underway for a significant development in the field of healthcare. The groundbreaking ceremony for the Berlin Centre for Gene and Cell Therapies has taken place, marking the beginning of construction on the city's new life science campus.
The Translational Centre for Gene and Cell Therapies, the first central building block of this campus, is being built on the Bayer campus at Berlin's Nordhafen. This ten-storey building, spanning around 20,000 square metres, will be a hub for research and development in gene and cell therapies.
The project is primarily funded by the federal government and the state of Berlin, with Charité, Bayer AG, and the Berlin Institute of Health at the Charité serving as partners. The Berlin Institute of Health at Charité, alongside Bayer AG, is the driving force behind this ambitious initiative. Additionally, ProBioGen has been named as an operational partner for the GMP facility within the project.
The Berlin Centre for Gene and Cell Therapies will focus on the transfer of research results into healthcare. It will house a production facility for the development of gene and cell therapeutics up to clinical phase II. Other tenants are expected to move into the centre, according to Charité.
The life science campus will be a hub for science, research, start-ups, and established companies, all working towards the goal of advancing future medicine. The campus is set to provide space for 15 to 20 start-ups in various stages of development.
Meanwhile, in a separate development, a World War II bomb has been found in Mitte, with defusing scheduled for Friday. This discovery serves as a reminder of the rich history that Berlin continues to uncover, even as it moves forward into a promising future in the field of healthcare.
As elections approach, one year from now, election helpers are being sought to ensure a smooth democratic process. The construction of the Berlin Centre for Gene and Cell Therapies is a testament to the city's commitment to progress and innovation, and it is expected to play a significant role in Berlin's continued growth and development.
