Fujifilm Irvine Scientific completes construction of bioprocessing centre in China

Fujifilm Irvine Scientific, Inc. has announced the completion of its Innovation and Collaboration Centre in Suzhou New District, China. Construction of the new Innovation and Collaboration Centre began in December 2021 and is now open to facilitate collaboration between experts and customers for the tailored design of upstream cell culture processes that can meet individual biomanufacturing needs. The new facility will provide the local resources and expertise needed to optimise cell culture media and associated workflows to support commercial production of new drugs in China’s rapidly expanding market. There is significant investment and growth within China’s biopharmaceutical, vaccine, cell and gene therapy markets, bolstered by the government’s dedication to making more affordable drugs available.
