Cellular Biomedicine Group Inc. (Nasdaq:CBMG) ("CBMG" or the "Company"), a biomedicine firm engaged in the development of effective treatments for degenerative and cancerous diseases, today announced that its GMP laboratory and production facility in Shanghai has successfully passed a fourth consecutive China Food and Drug Administration (CFDA) inspection.

Operating since 2012, the 20,000 square foot facility has consistently been certified by a third-party CFDA authorized accreditation agency each year. Additionally, in order to maintain international standards, the cleanroom facility undergoes a top-to-bottom annual calibration and validation process from ISO-accredited agencies, and has received and maintained an ISO-14644 cleanroom certification. Under the leadership of Helen (Li) Zhang, Vice President of Technology and Manufacturing, the GMP facility adheres to the highest standards in order to ensure contaminant-free production rooms, employee and patient safety and quality control. Ms. Zhang, formerly the associate director of cGMP and laboratory operations at the Gene Therapy Initiative of Harvard Medical School, Boston, has more than 11 years' experience in cGMP establishment and management, as well as in large-scale manufacturing of clinical grade cell therapy products that meet FDA standards.

"Having established a world-class biomedicine facility in Shanghai, China, and in response to the vibrant development in the cellular therapeutic industry, we plan to expand our GMP facilities for a total facility production space of 57,000 square feet by June of 2015," said William (Wei) Cao, PhD, BM, Chief Executive Officer of Cellular Biomedicine Group. "This expansion will allow us to be prepared for increasing manufacture demand from our immuno-oncology and human adipose-derived mesenchymal progenitor cell (haMPC) platforms in the near future. In addition, housing our vertically integrated research and development and production systems in several locations enables the Company to deliver consistent quality measures across various territories in China, thereby better serving the Company's patient population."
