With its introduction, hospitals are able to implement Orgenesis’s proprietary automated, closed systems and know-how to collect, process and supply cells for various treatments such as the manufacturing of CAR-T cell therapies.

The Germantown, Maryland-based company provides centralized contract development and manufacturing organization (CDMO) services, as well as localized point-of-care development and processing centers through its subsidiary Orgenesis Maryland Inc.
