Thank you for your interest in the Indiana University Vector Production Facility (IU VPF). Our facility is located on the campus of the
Indiana University School of Medicine in downtown Indianapolis. The laboratory is housed within the Department of Medical and Molecular Genetics
(http://medicine.iu.edu/medgen) and provides a variety of services to gene therapy investigators. The facility is
directed by Dr. Kenneth Cornetta.
In the Spring of 2009, the IU VPF located to a new vector production facility built, in part, with a construction grant provided by the
National Center for Research Resources,NIH. The facility provides a cGMP cleanroom with four production suites. The facility focuses on the production of
integrating viruses, with an emphasis on lentiviral gene transfer.
In addition, the IU VPF offers a wide variety of routine and specialized assays important in certification and safety assessment of gene
therapy vectors. A list of services can be viewed by clicking here.
To date, the IU VPF has certified over 30 vector for clinical trial throughout the United States.
