Clinical Cell and Vaccine Production Facility
The Clinical Cell and Vaccine Production Facility (CVPF) renders bench-to-bedside translational medicine a reality. Equipped with state of the art facilities, the CVPF manufactures cell and gene biotherapeutics and is accredited by the Foundation for the Accreditation of Cellular Therapy (FACT) as well as by the College of American Pathologists (CAP). Further, the CVPF is the only GMP (good manufacturing practices) compliant facility on campus and functions as an NCI-approved Abramson Cancer Center (ACC) Shared Resource. As an ACC-Shared Resource and Path and BioResources core facility, the CVPF supports numerous investigational new drug (IND) protocols. Current protocols target a variety of disease indications (primarily HIV, adult and pediatric cancers, and stroke); many more trials are in development and, once approved, will further expand the scope of diseases targeted for cell and gene therapy.

Penn Center for Precision Medicine
The Penn Center for Precision Medicine (PCPM) works to enhance the development of precision medicine efforts, as well as implement precision-medicine-based clinical care in the fabric of routine care. The Center builds on interconnections between the people who are making impactful scientific discoveries every day and the clinicians and clinical teams delivering outstanding care. The Center includes an interdisciplinary team with expertise in data analysis, biostatistics and health economics in order to measure both biological (medical) and economic (cost and cost avoidance) outcomes. PCPM also serves as a source of information for both programs and centers within the health system and for organizations outside that wish to explore partnerships with Penn.
