Sheffield’s existing sector is small, with the fewest GMP facilities compared to the other top locations and a low count of local units related to pharmaceutical manufacturing. However, the strength of the University of Sheffield in engineering and life sciences in particular suggests that there could be significant potential in manufacturing and R&D supply chain operations going forward. The Gene Therapy Innovation and Manufacturing Centre at the University is one of three national innovation hubs for gene therapies and works in partnership with the Cell and Gene Therapy Catapult. Combined with Sheffield Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust and the National Institute for Health Research Sheffield Biomedical Research Centre, these institutions could pave the way for a budding life sciences sector in Sheffield.
