Resources, redundancy & resilience: overcoming risk in C> production
Clinical development of viral vector gene therapies has outpaced CMC, manufacturing, and formulation development, creating process challenges that impact quality and shelf-life; most notably a lack of standardized methods and product usage, raw materials that are not cGMP grade and material supply insecurity.
This state of flux presents unique opportunities to de-risk the cell and gene manufacturing processes, and there are a multitude of approaches to improve manufacturing efficiency.
