Thermo Fisher launches Customer Experience and Bioprocess Design Centres in Hyderabad

Thermo Fisher Scientific, the world leader in serving science, has inaugurated two new facilities in Hyderabad’s Genome Valley. The Bioprocess Design Centre (BDC), a technology scale-up facility was set up in partnership with Govt. Of Telangana; other partners are Dept. of Biotechnology, Ministry of Science & Technology, Govt. of India under the Biotech Park Project.

The Customer Experience Centre (CEC) serves as a collaborative hub for scientists, entrepreneurs, and industry professionals offering hands-on training and co-development opportunities. The centre demonstrates 50+ integrated workflows across 20+ applications in targeted therapeutics like cell and gene therapy, mRNA, oncology, proteomics and analytical sciences featuring Thermo Fisher’s flagship technologies.

The centres will support 200 to 250 researchers and scientists annually, providing access to advanced technologies, hands-on training, and collaborative programs that accelerate innovation across bioprocessing, analytical sciences, healthcare, clean energy, and semiconductors.

Sridhar Babu, Minister of IT and Industries, Telangana, said, “Telangana’s life sciences sector is on a strong growth trajectory. Partnerships like this will help us achieve our target of Rs 1 lakh crore in life sciences investments by 2030. Thermo Fisher’s new centers bring global capabilities that strengthen our ecosystem. These new facilities will create opportunities for collaboration and skill-building, while reinforcing our vision of making Telangana the life sciences capital of the world.”

The Bioprocess Design Centre complements the CEC with bench-to-pilot scale capabilities for biologics and vaccine manufacturing. It enables rapid prototyping, process optimisation and scale-up using single-use systems, supported by laboratories for cell culture, microbial fermentation, purification, and analytical testing. 

With a combined investment of Rs 85-90 crore in CEC and BDC, Thermo Fisher continues to build on its investments and growing presence in India.
