1. Introduction

The CBE facility is a self-contained, Containment Level 2 Laboratory Unit.

The CBE Laboratory Unit is a shared multi-user facility. The primary purpose of the Unit is translational research aimed at the generation of new medical therapies and healthcare technologies with a particular focus on manufacturing and bioprocessing.

Much of the work in the Unit involves biological material. The Unit has therefore been designed as a controlled environment and operates under a Quality Management System to both be compliant to the necessary regulations, to ensure research quality and relevance and to protect research materials
