Cell & Gene Therapies
Cell and gene therapies are on the cutting edge of translational research and will likely continue to be groundbreaking therapies in the coming years. The development of cell and gene therapies, such as adeno-associated viral vectors, autologous and allogeneic chimeric antigen receptor cellular immunotherapies (REF), and stem cell-based therapies, are technically and logistically complex. Thus, understanding and evaluating complete program requirements with respect to manufacturing process development, manufacturing partner selection, program and project management, regulatory strategy, and market analysis are critical in the ultimate success of a product.
Our consultants are uniquely qualified to add key value in these crucial areas and provide subject matter expertise—from research and development to commercialization. We have demonstrated experience with multiple viral vector production systems, including more than 14 years with AAV vectors alone. With the increased utilization of viral vectors for cellular modification, we are poised to support your cell and gene therapy programs.
In addition, we have conducted key market research and analysis in the cell and gene space and have insight into the products, the vector requirements, and the complexities surrounding the development of these products. This insight also includes valuable knowledge of the non-dilutive funding landscape and how to navigate it accordingly, which is a separate but related core competency of our team.
