Gene Therapy Manufacturing Primer 101
Gene Therapy Manufacturing Primer 101 is a foundational class that ventures into the essential AAV production platforms, comparing four different approaches and dissecting the key elements of the AAV cassette. This class illustrates the basic upstream/downstream bioprocessing stages, contrasting suspension and adherent cell lines. Bioreactors, such as hyperstacks and iCellis, are examined for their role in this cutting-edge process. This primer ends by summarizing the role of CMC in AAV development, giving an overview of identity, potency, purity, and sterility testing required by the regulatory authorities. Grab your seat today for this introductory course and become conversant in gene therapy manufacturing!Â
