Biotech Training Facility and Kite Pharma EU BV start training collaboration

March 6, 2019

As of December 2018, Biotech Training Facility in Leiden and Kite Pharma EU have initiated a training collaboration.

In preparation of the commissioning of the new manufacturing facility that Kite is building in Hoofddorp, the company is hiring a significant number of manufacturing and quality control professionals. Most of these new employees need to be trained on company-specific processes. A part of the quality control and manufacturing trainings will be performed in a dedicated cleanroom and laboratory at Biotech Training Facility in Leiden, where Kite will install one of their workstations for training purposes. The project is currently in the start-up phase where training equipment is being installed at Biotech Training Facility.
