Cell and Gene Therapy Catapult forms consortium of over 20 organisations

The Cell and Gene Therapy (CGT) Catapult has announced the formation of a consortium of over 20 organisations, which will aim to accelerate technology development in cell and gene therapy manufacturing. The consortium consists of pharmaceutical companies, technology providers, therapy developers and charities. It will aim to assess the application and combination of a number of process analytic technologies (PAT) with the aim of developing cell and gene therapy specific PAT. In a statement, the CGT Catapult said the development of cell and gene therapy industry-specific PAT is key to enabling monitoring and control during the manufacturing process. The partners will utilise a collaborative work model, sharing data from each of their own research, to accelerate expertise in this area and develop industry-specific knowledge. This knowledge, according to the CGT Catapult, will enable technology providers and manufacturers to potentially develop lower cost and ‘more robust’ manufacturing processes for cell and ...
