Cell & Gene Sourcing Center
The number of clinical trials in cell and gene therapy has exploded – estimates are of over 1,000 clinical trials ongoing globally.
Many of these new therapeutic approaches require the production of viral vectors. Viral vector manufacturing today is cumbersome, and the yields are poor. If you are a startup biotech in need of viral vectors today, getting into capacity could be an issue. Complicating matters, cell and gene therapies require a certain proximity to patient and process/treatment centers, which will keep most U.S.-based drug and therapy developers looking for domestic (and regional) partners.
