PharmaCell provides contract services in the area of human cell & tissue banking & culturing as well as human cell line development and manufacturing of (bio) pharmaceuticals. Next to a GMP license, PharmaCell is the only commercial company in The Netherlands to hold an official license as Registered Tissue Establishment.
PharmaCell is also actively engaged in Research & Development work, both on behalf of some of its customers as well as in research consortia together with Universities, Academic Hospitals and other (bio)tech companies.
PharmaCell is located in the Biopartner Center Maastricht and, therefore, can take advantage of an extensive network to mediate in R&D, financing and housing requirements of clients. Close cooperation with Maastricht University and the associated Academic Hospital gives PharmaCell the unique capability to provide support and/or partnership to R&D companies to bring new products from the lab into the clinic.
PharmaCell offers fully integrated solutions for bio therapeutic proteins and (autologous and allogeneic) cell & tissue therapies, with established competencies which cover the full range of preclinical and clinical services for cell based biopharmaceuticals and therapies, including cell line development, cell banking, cell line characterization, process development and scale-up, custom cGMP manufacturing, lot release, stability testing and final product formulation and fill & finish. PharmaCell offers storage and distribution of Clinical Trail Materials including cell products and tissues and can also coordinate all logistics for autologous cell & tissue therapies throughout the European Union.
