SPEEDCELL responds to Europe's medicine shortages by transforming cells-based manufacturing into a rapid, scalable, and cost-effective platform for vaccines and monoclonal antibodies (mAbs). Aligned with the Pharmaceutical Strategy for Europe and HERA’s crisis preparedness goals, the project will optimise cell line development and production processes, targeting the 100 Days Goal for vaccine and therapeutic deployment in health emergencies. By boosting manufacturing capacity and process innovation, SPEEDCELL strengthens Europe’s health resilience and supply security.
