- Duration:
- 60 Minutes
Summary
With multiple products on the market, gene therapy has now gone beyond proof of concept and entered mainstream healthcare. This success urgently requires work on manufacturing processes to ensure that gene therapies are widely available to all that need them. Furthermore, regulatory authorities, tasked with assuring quality, efficacy and safety of the final product, are placing increasing scrutiny on the manufacturing process. Regulatory guidance documents suggest that the risk of adventitious agent contamination should be assessed and mitigated through a risk-based approach.
Participants will learn:
- What factors to consider when choosing your cell culture
- The advantages and disadvantages with each type of culture
- A risk based approach for viral vector manufacturing
