CAMBRIDGE, Mass., Feb. 28, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Brammer Bio ("Brammer"), a best-in-class viral vector contract development and manufacturing organization (CDMO) for cell and gene therapy companies, supports Rare Disease Day in raising awareness about rare diseases and their impact on patients' lives.
Rare Disease Day, held on the last day of February each year, is inspired to encourage our policy makers, public authorities, industry colleagues, researchers, and health professionals in efforts to address the unmet medical needs of patients with rare diseases. For more information, please visit www.rarediseaseday.org. Brammer is a sponsor and will participate in the MassBio Forum event in Boston, MA. Mark Bamforth, CEO of Brammer, commented, "One in 20 people will live with a rare disease at some point in their life, and an increasing number of gene therapy companies are targeting rare diseases, and some of these treatments are demonstrating outstanding safety and efficacy," said Bamforth." The Brammer team consists of 600 extraordinary employees who are focused exclusively on developing processes and suppling products to meet the gene therapy needs of our clients and their patients." Brammer offers end-to-end CDMO services from clinical supply in Florida through commercial manufacturing at two sites in Massachusetts. At its Alachua, Fla. facilities, Brammer is building on a 13+ year track record of supplying first-in-human clinical materials by expanding its process and analytical development laboratories and quality control laboratories and warehousing in early 2019.
