Human Genome Sciences Large-Scale Manufacturing (LSM)

New manufacturing facility focused on scientific and operational excellence

The 300,000-SF facility houses a cell culture process train, as well as bulk fill operations that support clinical trial and large-scale production requirements. Process support functions include central weigh and dispense, media prep, buffer prep/buffer hold, and dedicated glass wash areas. Clean process utilities include fully redundant, clean steam generators, clean air and process gases, and generation and storage of water for injection.

Project Overview

  • Continuous biowaste inactivation and process waste neutralization wastewater treatment inside the building
  • Process support and warehouse areas, quality assurance/quality control laboratories, and administrative offices
  • An 18-MW standby emergency diesel generator and an uninterruptible power supply system

This 290,000-SF plant is designed as a multi-product manufacturing facility for the production of bulk therapeutic proteins and monoclonal antibodies derived from recombinant mammalian cell culture.
