I do not know if this information has been posted before and if so then it might be a good refreshment.(The Vision Centre - Northwest Biotherapeutics - Advent Bioservices)

Northwest Biotherapeutics (NW Bio) along with our partner, Advent Bioservices, is building one of the premier advanced manufacturing facilities in the world, in the Vision Centre on the former Spicers site. This facility will produce personalised immune cell therapies for cancer and other diseases, as well as regenerative medicine cell therapies. The development of the Vision Centre also includes large training facilities to provide specialised job training for this advanced manufacturing.
We hope that our presence in Cambridge will contribute to the local, regional and national economy and that our innovative technology can change the lives of cancer patients in the UK.

The Vision Centre

The Vision Centre in Sawston is fully operational and is currently being fitted out with three ‘cleanroom’ suites, to be used by NW Bio as well as by other organisations that work in advanced cell manufacturing. Once complete, the Vision Centre will play a crucial role in allowing life-saving treatments to reach patients across the rest of Europe.

Land North of Mill Lane

Northwest Biotherapeutics acquired a site to the east of our existing Vision Centre in Sawston, with one possibility being to develop this for housing, some of which could be utilised by staff at the Vision Centre. Due to the nature of advanced manufacturing, blood and biopsy samples can arrive at any time, meaning we must have staff in close proximity to ensure the safe delivery, storage and processing of sensitive materials.
We are promoting the site through the Greater Cambridge Local Plan process and will be consulting with the community. Our aspiration for the site is that it will enhance our offering at the Vision Centre and support the services and other commercial and public facilities already in Sawston.
Our vision for the site at Sawston is one of partnership and growth with the community in and around the village, with employment opportunities at the Vision Centre being an importantpart of the Sawston local economy going forward, just as Spicers was in the past.
