The first large-scale prefabricated and multimodular Current Good Manufacturing Practices (cGMP) manufacturing facility built in the nation also helps the National Cancer Institute produce an experimental therapy. Tumor Infiltrating Lymphocytes (TILs) recognize and kill cancer cells. “I personally researched what TIL stands for … because I was curious,” says Ignacio Diaz, DPR senior project manager. Knowing TILs give patients a “last hope,” made it easier for the then first-time PM “to wake up when you might be a little tired or worked really long days.”
