Course Overview
This 3-day online course will detail the fundamental biological components for gene therapy and gene-modified cell therapies and outline important consideration for selecting the most appropriate vectors and specific safety aspects.
Critical biological information to enable understanding of the cell and gene therapy tools and therapies both existing today and coming in the near future.
The course will also address key points in manufacturing, purification and different technologies for each of the types of therapies addressed during the course.
The lack of standardization regarding modular single-use consumables will be discussed as well as methods for cell separation and scaling-up issues.
Participants will also be given a set of case studies to analyse from the perspective of the course and provide feedback to the course leader who will select a few for general forum viewing after anonymizing the person providing the analysis.
