Hi all,
I am reaching out to inquire whether any peer institutions would be willing to share benchmarking data related to their vector manufacturing facilities, particularly those operating within an academic or hospital-based research environment.
We are in the process of evaluating our own vector manufacturing operations and would greatly appreciate insights or comparative data on areas such as:
-
Staffing models and FTE distribution (scientific, quality, regulatory, administrative)
-
Annual production volumes or capacity metrics
-
Financial structure (cost recovery, subsidy, pricing strategies)
-
Service models (academic collaborations vs. external projects)
-
Operational challenges and lessons learned
Any information, even in aggregate or anonymized form, would be extremely helpful as we assess performance and plan for future growth.
If you are willing to share data or discuss informally, please feel free to contact me directly. Thank you in advance for your time and collegial collaboration!
