Evaluation of different options will be presented for scaling up large
quantities of bone marrow-derived MSCs (BMSCs) using methods that can be
performed in compliance with Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP). Topics
covered will include cell yields, cost, time, effort and ease of use
with either automated or manual methods to manufacture enough BMSC to
administer a single dose of 100 x 10^6 cells per patient.

What will you learn?

  • Cost-benefit analysis for manual versus automated MSC manufacturing
    for Phase I and II clinical trials

Who may this interest?

  • Clinicians, researchers, lab technologists and cell
    therapy industry professionals
  • Cell therapy manufacturing professionals
