Charles River Announces Agreement with Singapore General Hospital<\/b><\/p>\n

Charles River to provide master cell banking and NGS testing services for cord blood derived allogeneic CAR-T cells<\/i><\/p>\n

WILMINGTON, Mass.–(BUSINESS WIRE<\/a>)–
\nCharles River Laboratories International, Inc. (NYSE: CRL) today announced an agreement with Singapore General Hospital (SGH) to provide Current Good Manufacturing Practice (CGMP) -compliant master cell banking (MCB) and next-generation sequencing (NGS)-based services for use in cell line characterization. SGH will use cord blood to derive and manufacture allogeneic chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T-cells which will be used to treat patients with cancer.<\/p>\n

\n\u201cWe are thrilled to leverage our cell line characterization services and comprehensive NGS testing approach to support SGH as they work to develop novel therapeutics for cancer patients,\u201d said Kerstin Dolph, Corporate Senior Vice President, Global Manufacturing, Charles River. \u201cAccording to the World Health Organization, 1 in 5 individuals will develop cancer in their lifetime, so utilizing our decades of experience to help advance novel cancer research is aligned with our corporate values and goals.\u201d<\/p>\n

\nSGH will leverage Charles River\u2019s CGMP MCB services for SGH\u2019s critical starting material for its cord blood-derived allogeneic CAR T-cells and NGS-based testing services for cell line characterization services for its upcoming Phase I clinical trials.<\/p>\n
