Setting The Standard In Cell And Gene Therapy: Perspectives On Performance, Scalability, And Regulatory Compliance

Explore the advancements in cell and gene therapies, which offer innovative treatments for diseases previously considered untreatable. While the demand for these therapies grows, manufacturers face challenges in ensuring reproducible performance, streamlined scalability, and regulatory compliance. Achieving consistent production is critical, as these therapies involve complex processes not suited to traditional biomanufacturing methods. Manual operations, batch variability, and a lack of standardized platforms further complicate development timelines.

Scalable solutions are essential to meet growing patient needs. The transition from research to clinical production requires platforms that maintain consistent performance across different scales, supported by single-use technologies, automation, and advanced analytics. Additionally, ensuring regulatory compliance is a significant hurdle, as the rapidly evolving landscape demands robust Chemistry, Manufacturing, and Controls (CMC) strategies.

This white paper highlights examples like stem cell therapies, which focus on tissue regeneration, and adeno-associated virus (AAV) gene therapies, widely used for targeted genetic treatments. It also emphasizes the importance of selecting the right tools, consumables, and bioreactors to ensure process efficiency and compliance with Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP).
