Ascend
A key part of the leading European cluster for cell and gene therapy manufacturing
Three new laboratory buildings will form a state-of-the-art life science campus at the former Cancer Research UK biotherapeutics facility near Potters Bar.
A stone’s throw from both Stevenage and central London, the campus is designed as an incubator where start-ups and smaller companies can commercialise cell and gene therapies.
The existing facility will be refurbished as part of this sustainable development, which is utilising off-site modular construction and on-site renewable energy.
The site will continue to have a bias towards cancer care and cures, with CRUK continuing to play a significant role and running two significant cancer research projects from the completed facility.
