This webcast features: Richard Parker-Manuel, Group Leader for Plasmid Engineering and Production at OXGENE, WuXi Advanced Therapies. Successful development of cell and gene therapies requires robust, scalable manufacturing processes which generate high-quality material. There are substantial challenges associated with producing high viral yields and with navigating the regulatory environment to bring a therapeutic to market, a process which is often expensive and inefficient. Many challenges are attributable to the plasmid design and manufacturing step, where plasmids are the building blocks…
