INDUSTRY INSIGHTS

Built‑In Quality For Audit‑Ready Manufacturing

Pre‑approval inspection readiness requires embedding quality, traceability, contamination control, and analytical and documentation practices into everyday cell therapy manufacturing to prevent delays.

Turning Promise Into Reality: Advancing Gene Therapy With Data

Downstream AAV manufacturing remains a bottleneck, and overcoming it requires platforming that couples standardized processes with data-driven CMC systems to improve speed, cost, and viability.

The Future Of CGT: Phase-Appropriate Plasmid DNA Manufacturing

Effective CGT development hinges on phase-appropriate manufacturing. Matching manufacturing rigor to the clinical phase ensures the quality at the right time while reducing costs and accelerating timelines.

FEATURED EDITORIAL

End-To-End ADC Manufacturing Works Best With Active Sponsor Oversight

ADC success is less about perfect execution and more about early signal detection, tight communication, and decisive governance.

Ivory Tower To CDMO: Can Universities Successfully Outsource Development?

Let’s be honest: for professionals at CDMOs, dealing with university-based clients can feel like trying to run a development campaign through a distortion field. Even when inventors are “spun out” into the “real world” as a biotech, breaking through to the realities of progressing molecules is tricky. Apologies to those who might take offense, but stick with us, this will prove helpful for academia and others to optimize working with CDMOs.

Field Notes: APEC RHSC's Workshop On ATMP Development And Evaluation

Scientific and regulatory leaders in the Asia-Pacific region met recently for an exchange of strategies to strengthen convergence and technical competence.
