Course Overview

The Cell & Gene Therapy industry is a rapidly growing area of medicine. However, although both cell and gene therapies offer a regenerative approach to treat disease, their modes of action and individual manufacturing techniques are largely different from one another.

Over 6 sessions, this course will take you on a deep dive into the different product types that exist under the Cell & Gene Therapy umbrella, then compare key manufacturing principles. You will consider aspects such as viral vector vs. non-viral vector genetic manipulation methods in gene and gene-modified cell therapies, EU & US expectations when working with cells, and the importance of cryogenics to safeguard and transport your product to the patient.
