Ayrmid Pharma Ltd., a cell therapy pioneer working to turn cells into powerful therapeutics and RoslinCT, a world leading cell and gene therapy contract development and manufacturing organization (CDMO), today announced their intent to enter into a strategic partnership for the production of Omisirge, a commercial product for the treatment of hematologic malignancies commercialized in the US by Gamida Cell Inc, a subsidiary of Ayrmid Pharma Ltd.
