GMP Shared Resource

Overview of Services

GMP Core Facility

The GMP Core Facility provides GMP-compliant cleanroom infrastructure and facility-managed access to support cell and gene therapy programs within a controlled and compliant environment.

The facility operates under a centralized, facility-managed model, where cleanroom suites are shared resources coordinated through a structured scheduling system. This approach enables internal programs and qualified collaborators to access GMP space for defined activities while maintaining institutional control over compliance, facility integrity, and operational standards.

The GMP Core Facility oversees suite allocation, environmental monitoring, equipment readiness, and facility operations, ensuring all activities are conducted within a GMP-compliant and inspection-ready environment.

The facility supports a range of advanced therapeutic manufacturing activities within qualified cleanroom environments.

Capabilities:

  • GMP-qualified cleanroom suites and supporting areas
  • Centralized environmental monitoring and contamination control programs
  • Equipment calibration, maintenance, and qualification oversight
  • Controlled gowning access and personnel qualification processes
  • Facility-wide Quality Management System (QMS) support coordinated with IPQA
  • Centralized scheduling through the GMP Core Master Calendar using Airtable
  • Standardized suite turnover, cleaning verification, and readiness processes

The facility operates as a shared environment, and access is coordinated centrally. No permanent ownership or assignment of space is granted.

Suite access is confirmed only after scheduling approval through the AIrtable form and Dashboard:
