Nebraska Nanomedicine Production Plant

The Nebraska Nanomedicine Production Plant (NNPP) provides contract development and manufacturing support services to academic institutions, startups and large pharmaceutical companies. We support US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) compliant batch scale-up of candidate nanoformulations for production, new drug applications, phase 1 clinical trials and technology transfer for large scale production. The NNPP serves bench to bedside production and quality control development for human drug testing. A staff of senior nanotechnology experts is supported by experienced manufacturing personnel and quality assurance professionals in advising and executing product development to serve the nation and world.

The plant is comprised of two state of the art facilities offering a 'one stop shop' for all nanoproduction needs. Our pre-production facility follows good laboratory practice (GLP) guidelines for scale-up production development and process capability studies. Our manufacturing facility follows current good manufacturing practice (cGMP) guidelines for highly regulated production of nanomedicines, safety assessments and early phase clinical trials.

The plant can provide counsel, equipment and technological support to speed product manufacture for any enterprise working in the field of nanoformulations. Few pharmaceutical manufacturing facilities are able to rapidly trouble shoot then scale up products requiring on site management by experienced scientific teams, as the plant is able to forge. The broad expertise in medicinal and polymer chemistry affords the plant unique opportunities for proof of concept inventions and sets it apart from other companies in the field.
