Panel discussion: Next wave in medicine: Accelerating and reducing cost of cell & gene therapy production by better defining cell & viral quality.
Cell & gene therapies are considered the next big wave in medicine. With projected revenues of close to 30 billion EUR in 2026, CGTs are expected to transform the pharmaceutical industry. Yet many CGTs developers continue to rely on platforms designed for large-molecule drug production that pose inadequacies when superimposed on less stable and time critical biological therapy production. During this panel we will explore the special requirements for QC and process analytical technologies in cell & gene therapy manufacturing, provide an overview of already existing solution and discuss areas where innovations are still needed to accelerate production, reduce costs, and thereby make these new therapies accessible to more patients world-wide.
