About Us The CRC for Cell Therapy Manufacturing, through CTM@CRC Ltd., will facilitate the cost-effective manufacture and rapid translation of cell therapies into clinical practice. With a total of $59M in cash and in-kind resources, including a $20M grant from the Australian Government, the CRC will provide new treatments, and develop new materials-based manufacturing technologies, for the treatment of conditions such as diabetes, chronic wounds, cardiovascular disease, and immune-mediated diseases such as graft versus host disease. Headquartered in South Australia, the CRC brings together the spectrum of skills and facilities required to turn a promising cell into a viable cell therapy. The CRC’s national and international partners include research providers, manufacturers, hospitals and charities. Underpinning this partnership is a newly established cGMP manufacturing facility, designed to deliver cell-based therapeutics for the CRC’s firstin-man clinical trials. Research The CRC for Cell Therapy Manufacturing brings together materials scientists, cell biologists, bioprocess engineers, clinicians and industry to increase the affordability, accessibility and efficacy of cell therapies. Through its integrated research programs, the CRC focuses on increasing efficiencies and decreasing costs for therapeutic cell isolation, expansion and delivery (collectively, cell therapy ‘manufacturing’), as well as facilitating rapid translation of cell therapies into clinical practice. Materials & Bioprocessing The high manufacturing cost of cell therapies has hampered the transition from the laboratory to the clinic. The CRC will leverage its extensive knowledge in the application of biomaterials/nanomaterials science and cell biology to improve the efficiency of isolation, expansion and delivery for a range of promising cells with the potential for clinical applications. Our researchers have a successful track record in the application of smart materials technologies to the development of products to treat conditions such as burns and corneal damage, and to improve the performance of culture ware and tissue engineered products. Clinical Translation We have the expertise and infrastructure to transition promising cells from bench to bedside through our purpose built cGMP manufacturing facility. Together with experience and expertise in scale-up, regulatory affairs and preclinical models, we are ideally positioned to cost effectively design, manage and conduct early phase clinical trials. This capacity for seamless and rapid translation places us in a unique position to benefit from significant developments in the cell therapy industry and pave the way for a range of cell therapy products. Education The CRC recognises the importance of education as a key contributor to the ongoing development of new cell therapies and treatments. Through its tailored Entrepreneurial PhD (ePhD) Program the CRC will ensure that graduates are equipped with the necessary skills to understand and drive the translation of research into new therapies - supporting Australia’s expanding cell therapy industry.

An example Industry challenges Despite the undisputed curative potential of CTs, their commercialisation on a mass scale still presents several challenges, one of which is cost. It is estimated that CTs could cost up to US$40-100K per dose, Tcell expansion) and adhesive proteins (used in expansion of adherent cells such as MSCs, iPS cells).
