The challenge

Fuelling the growth of a life-saving therapy

A groundbreaking novel treatment for patients with multiple myeloma, CAR-T cell therapy harnesses the body’s own immune system to attack tumour cells. It’s an exciting, lifesaving area with a predicted value of over $8bn by 2028.

Viral vector technology is a key component of CAR-T therapy and our client, Janssen Pharmaceutica, wanted to create a new lenti-viral vector manufacturing facility in the Netherlands, to meet the demands of its expanding European CAR-T programme.

The role we're playing

Building on our strong track record in life sciences construction and well-established relationship with Janssen, we established a team of experienced construction consultants to help deliver this strategically important project. 

We’ve worked closely with the client right from the outset, paving the way for the creation of a brand new business entity in a new location, and preparing for the smooth relocation of Janssen’s existing team.

The results

When it’s complete, the new 9,000m2 LVV facility will give Janssen the capacity to deliver over 80 lenti-viral batches per each year, to enable commercial scale up. It will feature a cutting-edge ISO 14644 Class 7 clean room, CL2 lab and general lab, along with write-up space for Janssen’s team. 

Our Pulse Consult experts will be supporting the client all the way, overseeing equipment move-in, validation of the clean rooms and relocation of their cell technology business to the new site. It’s a project we’re proud to be part of, helping bring a powerful new therapy to patients right across Europe.
