Summary
A multipurpose facility
Cellerator will be a multi-purpose and multi-product facility, with a mix of office and lab space for cell therapy development and manufacturing. The space is designed by Rambøll and set to meet the evolving demands of the cell therapy field. PLH’s role is to carry out design development and detailed design, ensuring the design vision is fully realized.
Making research more accessible
The design creates a natural connection between researchers and students, making science and innovation feel more approachable. Its location on the DTU campus further enhances this openness, creating a close link between academic and research. The facility is built on the same design philosophy as the rest of the DTU campus, ensuring it feels like an integrated and seamless part of the university environment.
Closing the gap from lab research to manufacturing
Cellerator will be a versatile, multi-purpose facility combining office and laboratory spaces dedicated to cell therapy development and manufacturing. What makes this project unique is its integration of both development and manufacturing capabilities within a single location, creating a seamless pathway from discovery to clinical trials. Featuring advanced process development labs and flexible GMP clean rooms, equipped with state-of-the-art technology, the facility is designed to meet the evolving needs of the cell therapy industry, ensuring the consistent, scalable, and safe production of materials for phase I/II clinical trials.
