Janssen, Viral Vector Production Facility

Netherlands
DPS Group developed a concept design for a large scale EMEA viral vector production facility in Sassenheim, the Netherlands.
About this project

Janssen is creating their large scale EMEA viral vector production facility in Sassenheim, Netherlands. The viral vector production platform is based on the Lenti Virus. The process design is based on the existing small-scale viral vector process in their facilities in Bern and Raritan. The large scale EMEA viral vector facility will provide the raw materials to the CAR-T Abecma EMEA production center in Ghent, Belgium.  The new facility will be developed in an existing warehouse that will be converted into a state-of-the-art production center to support a first production train, with flexibility to implement future trains.
