Following the audit of our GMP activities by the FAMHP (Federal Agency for Medicines and Health Products), we are pleased to announce the successful completion of the audit with no critical deficiencies and no major deficiencies. Once again we have met the requirements and our GMP certificate is extended thanks to the hard work of the MaSTherCell’s team. We also received a favorable opinion to extend the authorization to the manufacturing of gene therapy products.

We think that quality must be done right through our best-in-class quality services but also daily in our quality-minded work and transparent communication.

He explains how creating a strong process diagnostic lays the foundations for a successful technology transfer and development towards a process fit for industrialization.
