VGXI announced today they have broken ground on a 5,000 square foot expansion of their Texas based manufacturing facility. Once complete, the project will increase the company’s footprint by 17% and its cGMP manufacturing space by over 70%.

The upcoming development will add two new flexible-use GMP production areas to serve clients with both large and small scale needs, and a range of products from DNA vaccines to plasmid raw material for GMP viral vector production.

“With three key approvals in 2017 for CAR-T and AAV therapies, the gene therapy industry is rapidly maturing,” said VGXI’s president and chief executive officer, Young Park. “We are excited to support the needs of our growing client base with increased flexibility and capacity across all service levels from Pre-Clinical to Highly Documented (HD) and cGMP grade plasmid production.”
