Cell Processing Services

The Cell Processing Section of the Department of Transfusion Medicine (DTM) provides a wide range of cellular therapy services to support both patient care and research at the NIH Clinical Center.

The central mission of CPS is to provide services to the NIH Institutes to support their intramural clinical trials. These services include (1) performing research aimed at development, evaluation, and validation of new manufacturing processes for cellular therapies and (2) manufacture of cellular therapy products for approved clinical trials. The major of these trials are early phase (I/II) trials not intended to result in development of a commercial product. To provide these services, CPS operates a core facility for the manufacture, storage, and distribution of cellular therapy products.

The CPS facility is located on the 3rd floor of Building 10 on the NIH campus in Bethesda, MD.
