"It is rewarding to see that BioMagnetic Solutions, a critical part of the Gamma Biosciences portfolio of companies, decided to continue their company's evolution in State College. The alignment of their business interests with Penn State's academic, research, workforce, and economic development capabilities, opens the door for a robust technical and operational collaboration between our faculty, staff, students, and the BioMagnetic Solutions team."

"We are inspired to carry forward the BioMagnetic Solutions legacy to help manufacturers overcome the challenges in scale and security of supply that are hindering true progress," Ted Liberti, Chief Business Officer at BioMagnetic Solutions commented. "We have demonstrated that this technology is able to support process development and manufacturing efforts for new cell and gene-based medicines at scale, and the next step is working with developers to deliver security and reliability for their processes."
