SUZHOU,China,Aug. 2,2021 --WuXi Biologics ("WuXi Bio") (2269.HK),a global company with leading open-access biologics technology platforms,announced that only 13 months after receiving its first GMP certificate,it has once again received a European Medicines Agency (EMA) GMP certificate for the Biosafety Testing facility in Suzhou. This certificate demonstrates WuXi Biologics' compliance to global cGMP biosafety testing standards and regulatory guidelines.

This additional EMA GMP certificate was issued following a remote inspection conducted by Poland's Chief Pharmaceutical Inspectorate in April 2021. The comprehensive inspection covered not only the Quality Control (QC) testing of a Master Cell Bank (MCB) and Working Cell Bank (WCB) used for the production of an innovative biological product from a global partner,but also the facility's entire quality system. The inspection was conducted in response to the positive scientific opinion issued by the EMA's Committee for Medicinal Products (CHMP) on the aforementioned biological product.

Dr. Chris Chen,CEO of WuXi Biologics,commented,"The second EMA certificate is the solid proof of our world-class quality system as well as the technology platforms utilized at our Suzhou facility. However,continuous improvement is the foundation of our organization and thus we will continue to advance our capabilities and quality systems to further enable our global partners to develop novel biotherapeutics."
