What Can You Expect at the Flagship CGT Analytical Development Summit?

Landmark approvals, growing momentum behind in vivo cell therapies, and new FDA flexibility are changing the sentiment around cell and gene therapies this year. However, as new technologies emerge the standard for analytical data packages increases with it. Now, the biggest challenge for biopharma becomes working smarter to generate the right amount of potency, quality, safety, and sterility data to assure clinical progress and commercial approvals while keeping down manufacturing costs to protect long term ROI.

This year, the 8th Cell & Gene Therapy Analytical Development Summit combines the best of both worlds in many ways: strategic and technical presentations, opportunities for informative presentations and interactive networking, and for the first time, both cell and gene therapies represented under one roof.

Join experts from Bristol Myers Squibb, Novartis, Vertex Pharmaceuticals, Sarepta Therapeutics, AskBio, Sanofi, and more are tackling analytical development for the wave of cell and gene therapies.
