Comprehensive Cell Solutions (CCS) is a one-stop shop for all of our biopharmaceutical and academic partners. To advance cellular therapy development, we apply our unique combination of expertise, technology, and insights from research to clinical development through to cGMP commercial manufacturing. We take great pride in our ability to produce off-the-shelf solutions and highly customized biological products in our state-of-the-art facilities as we collaborate to develop new solutions for patients.
Why Partner with CCS?
