AstraZeneca PLC has announced plans to establish a cell therapy manufacturing and supply base alongside a new innovation center in Shanghai. This development positions the United Kingdom-based pharmaceutical giant as the first global drugmaker to develop end-to-end cell therapy capabilities within China. The facility will focus on the production and supply of CAR-T cell therapies, which modify a patient's immune cells to target and destroy cancer cells, serving both the local market and other regions across Asia.
