Cell, gene, and tissue therapies continue to be the fastest growing fields in the biopharmaceutical industry.
These advanced medicines are treating complex diseases and conditions such as cancer, tissue injuries, and revolutionary vaccines.
But significant processing and analytical challenges remain, however.
Every year, Informa Connect invites cell, gene, and tissue therapy industry representatives meet to discuss best practices and best strategies for overcoming those challenges.
Like most meetings in 2020, the Cell and Gene Bioprocessing and Commercialization conference was offered entirely online.
During 19–22 October, participants were invited to listen to presentations, plenaries, speaker panels, and even live virtual laboratory tours.
The five tracks were cell therapies, in vivo gene therapies, ex vivo gene-edited cell therapies, and advanced tools for cell and tissue manufacturing.
This report highlights a few presentations and speaker panels (by topic).
