University of Kentucky Builds State's First Sterile Research Facility

The University of Kentucky dedicated its $17-million Center for Pharmaceutical Science and Technology (CPST) in May 2006 and the facility is currently undergoing FDA validation. The 20,000-sf building at the University's Coldstream Research Campus expands the CPST's manufacturing capabilities from its on-campus location where it has been operating since 1986. The CPST is a fully integrated method development, formulation development and GMP pharmaceutical manufacturing operation. The on-campus location will continue to serve clients with non-sterile clinical supply manufacturing, while the new facility offers sterile manufacturing of clinical-trial quantities of injectables, liquids and topicals.
