Fraunhofer Project Centre for Biomedical Engineering and Advanced Manufacturing at McMaster

The Fraunhofer Project Centre (FPC-BEAM) brings together expertise from both the Fraunhofer IZI (Europe’s Leader in Cell Therapy Manufacturing) and McMaster University (2017 Most Research Intensive University) to create a unique institute with a core focus on applied research. In 2014, McMaster University and the Fraunhofer Institute for Cell Therapy and Immunology (Fraunhofer IZI) established a joint project center in Hamilton to develop novel technologies for cell therapy and point-of-care diagnostics. Leveraging McMaster’s research expertise and Fraunhofer’s proven ability to translate research to industry, FPC-BEAM will allow academic and industry partners to translate their ideas into commercially viable products.
