NHS Blood and Transplant
NHS Blood and Transplant is a national organisation within the NHS dedicated to saving and improving lives. Our Cellular and Molecular Therapies function offers broad experience and expertise in the provision and manufacture of cell and gene therapies through our national network of GMP grade and MHRA licensed facilities. NHSBT partners with academic, commercial and NHS organisations supporting novel cell and gene therapy programmes from concept through to clinical trial, operating a ‘not for profit’ model.
Our Clinical Biotechnology Centre (CBC) manufactures GMP plasmid DNA, lentiviral and adeno associated viral vectors and, together with Kings College London and the University of Sheffield, is an Innovation Hub for Gene Therapies. The IHfGT were set up with funding from independent research charity LifeArc, the Medical Research Council (MRC), and the Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research Council (BBSRC).
