Abstract

 

Recent FDA approval of the first Chimeric Antigen Receptor T cell (CAR-T) therapy offers cancer patients more promise than ever for curative effects. However, many technical challenges in T cell gene delivery still remain in order for this therapy to become a standard of care practice. In this webinar, we will highlight the different viral and non-viral delivery approaches used in T cell engineering for cell and gene therapy applications including:

  • New solution for small-to-large scale serum-free, suspension lentiviral production – LV-MAX™ Lentiviral Production System
    • Platform development process using Design of Experiment (DOE) methodologies
    • High-throughput to large scale bioreactor protocols
    • Cost benefits of this system over current methods
  • Novel gene editing tools for primary T cells
    • New potent gene editing tools to increase knock-in and knock-out efficiency
    • Addressing non-viral delivery barriers through protocol optimization

Learning Objectives:

  • Current industry trends and challenges of cell and gene therapy manufacturing
  • Benefits of innovative new upstream technologies for virus generation in suspension
