Pfizer opens facility to advance gene therapy for hemophilia in Sanford, North Carolina

In August 2017, Pfizer committed to building a $100 million gene therapies plant in North Carolina and, in exchange, North Carolina committed to providing the drugmaker with a quarter-million dollars' worth of help. Pfizer will expand an 11,000-square-foot plant in Sanford, North Carolina that it acquired last year when it bought gene therapies biotech Bamboo Therapeutics in a deal valued at up to $688 million. Bamboo bought the facility last year from the University of North Carolina about the time that Pfizer made its initial investment in the company.
