Short Biography

Frank Fazio, Children’s GMP, LLC, president and St. Jude vice president of therapeutics production and quality, leads the biologic manufacturing facility at St. Jude. The GMP allows St. Jude to develop and produce innovative treatments for its patients that may not find an initial investment by a major pharmaceutical company. Fazio’s staff of scientists and quality control experts produce novel vaccines, gene therapy products, monoclonal antibodies and recombinant proteins. Another major function of GMP staff is to work closely with St. Jude employees to prepare high-quality, cell-based products for bone marrow transplantation and cellular therapy procedures.
