This webcast features: René Gantier, PhD, Director of Technology, Gene Therapy, Repligen The current manufacturing processes for viral vectors for gene therapy, which we can define as Gene Therapy Manufacturing 1.0 (e.g., adherent cell culture and transient expression from plasmid transfection), are not productive enough to meet the future demand considering the quickly increasing number of approved gene therapies and clinical trials. A transition is therefore ongoing to implement more productive and scalable processes, leading to Gene Therapy Manufacturing 2.0 using…

This webcast features: Tatiana Golovina, Senior Director, Cell Therapy Process Development, WuXi Advanced Technologies For many years, the primary forms of cancer treatment have been chemotherapy, radiation, and surgery. An amazing breakthrough known as chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T-cell therapy is being studied in the treatment of various types of cancer, including acute and chronic lymphoblastic leukemia, non-Hodgkin lymphoma, myeloma, and solid tumors. Developing innovative advanced therapies is one of our greatest opportunities to dramatically improve patients’ lives. WuXi Advanced…

This webcast features: Juan Lagos and Steve Tottey, Associate Directors of Upstream and Downstream Process Development, WuXi Advanced Therapies Developing innovative advanced therapies is one of our greatest opportunities to dramatically improve patients’ lives. WuXi Advanced Therapies launched a new world-class adenoassociated virus (AAV) vector suspension platform that complements integrated capabilities enabling cell and gene therapies to be developed, manufactured, and released faster and with greater predictability globally. In this webinar, we will discuss our recent technical advancement on efficient…

This webcast features: Dr. Peter Kilbride and Dr. Julie Meneghel, Senior Research Scientist and Cryobiologist, GE Healthcare Life Science In this webinar, we will address fundamentals of cryobiology to (1) understand why a cryopreservation protocol is needed, (2) see what happens biologically to cells while cooling, and (3) allow attendees to design an optimized protocol for their cell type and cryopreservation configuration (e.g., sample size). We will cover the importance of applying controlled-rate cooling and how to best tune it to…
