LONDON– Global Healthcare Opportunities, or GHO Capital Partners LLP, the European specialist investor in global healthcare, announces their investment in RoslinCT, a leading Contract Development and Manufacturing Organization (CDMO) focused on advanced cell therapies.
Established in 2006 in Edinburgh, Scotland, with support from Scottish Enterprise, RoslinCT was formed through an initial spin-out from the Roslin Institute, which has a famous track record in genetic and cellular biology. Since 2014, the company has had a manufacturing base within the University of Edinburgh’s Centre for Regenerative Medicine in a facility shared with the Scottish National Blood Transfusion Service. RoslinCT has worked to advance the field of regenerative medicine and today is at the forefront of high-quality cell therapy development and manufacturing. The company recently expanded into facilities at the Edinburgh BioQuarter, and is recognised globally as a unique CDMO establishing its own commercial scale production.
RoslinCT services an established, international customer base of blue-chip Pharma and Biotech companies, partnering from development phase through to late-stage clinical manufacturing. The business is set to benefit from exponential growth in the advanced therapy market which is forecast to grow at up to 50% annually.
With GHO’s backing, RoslinCT will significantly increase its development and manufacturing capacity, supporting customer acquisition and product diversification.
RoslinCT will benefit from GHO’s sector expertise and international resources to accelerate growth, scaling the business to build on its best-in-class therapies and better service a growing international client base.
