A little over a year since breaking ground on a new manufacturing facility in Bothell, WA, Sana just held a ribbon-cutting ceremony to celebrate its grand opening. Two years ago Sana, which is focused on creating and delivering engineered cells as medicines for patients, reported that it had entered into a lease agreement to develop an approximately 80,000 ft2 manufacturing facility in Bothell which would replace its Fremont, California site.
The just opened facility is designed to support the manufacturing of Sana’s multiple product candidates across the company’s cell and gene therapy portfolio as they enter late-stage clinical development and early commercial supply. Bothell remains close to Sana’s existing technical and scientific capabilities in Seattle and provides access to a strong biotech talent base, according to Sana officials. Sana will continue to work with contract manufacturing partners to expand its footprint and production.
