The Miller Family Translational Technologies Center will feature several elements that will contribute to City of Hope’s efforts to move discoveries quickly from concept to cures. A process development laboratory will facilitate the invention of processes to manufacture new cellular therapies in clinical quantities and quality. The center will also include a cellular production unit to manufacture the new therapies for clinical trials.
“The Miller Family Translational Technologies Center will truly embody City of Hope’s commitment to developing improved, lifesaving treatments with unprecedented speed and safety,” said Michael A. Friedman, M.D., City of Hope president and chief executive officer. “We are truly grateful to the Harvey L. Miller Family Foundation for its support.”
Construction of the Arnold and Mabel Beckman Center is currently under way and is scheduled for completion late this year.
The Arnold and Mabel Beckman Center will be a fully integrated research facility that will house scientists focused on tumor immunology and translational research, the conversion of basic science discoveries into novel diagnostic methods and treatments for patients.
It will provide space and resources for scientists in City of Hope’s Department of Cancer Immunotherapeutics & Tumor Immunology. Scientists will research new treatment ideas within the center and manufacture biologic agents on site.
