Establishing a universal resource of GMP-compliant iPSCs for broad patient populations
Induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) are on a path to become a universal starting material in regenerative medicine and cancer therapy. The challenge of immune compatibility of these cells may be addressed using autologous or allogeneic approaches, the latter being suited for targeting broad patient populations.
This webinar was recorded on 12 November 2021.
What will you learn?
- Considerations for developing GMP-compliant manufacturing processes, requirements of donor eligibility and informed consent
- Catalent’s effort to build a universal resource of GMP-compliant iPSC banks from HLA-homozygous cord blood units
- Catalent’s capabilities in iPSC manufacturing, banking, reprogramming and differentiation workflows
Who may this interest?
- Researchers working with iPSCs
- Scientists interested in allogeneic therapies
- Decision-makers at companies working on iPSC-based cell therapies
