A cutting-edge ‘biotech factory’, set to be an Australian first for algal-based pharmaceutical production, is coming to life, deep underground at UTS.

The cavernous underground space that will house the UTS GMP Lite facility
Buried in a basement level of the Vicki Sara building, the new GMP Lite (Good Manufacturing Practice) facility will offer unmatched training and teaching opportunities, as well as cementing UTS as a global leader in research and development for algal biotech industries.
The pilot-scale facility will provide a space for proof of concept work, product development and research, with small-scale manufacturing of pharmaceutical, nutraceutical (food supplements) and agricultural vaccines.
