Overview

The Clinical BioManufacturing Facility is the University of Oxford’s GMP facility. We have over 20 years experience producing biological Investigational Medicinal Products (IMPs) for early phase clinical trials.

We hold a Manufacturer’s Authorisation for Investigational Medicinal Products (MIA (IMPs)) from the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA), which allows us to manufacture viral vector vaccines and advanced therapy medicinal products (ATMPs), including gene and cell therapy products. All IMPs are manufactured and released in accordance with the European Clinical Trials Directive (2004). The facility can also import IMPs from outside the EU for use in clinical trials within the European Union.

  • One grade D area 22.9m2 for preparation, staging and inspection and a through wall pharmaceutical autoclave.
