Gene-Modified Cell Therapy

Gene-Modified Cell Therapy Manufacturing Solutions

Gene-modified Cell Therapies enable unique approaches to novel treatments. After collection of cells from patients the genes are edited ex vivo to boost their function and persistence before they are re-administered into the patients body. This includes CAR-T (chimeric antigen receptor) therapies.

The manufacturing process for gene-modified cell therapies comes along with challenges during fluid and cold chain management. It is of utmost importance to rely on safe cold chain solutions and handling processes for both drug products and vector products.
