Abstract:
Cell therapy refers to the injection of cells to cure various diseases. Cell therapy is a rapidly growing field in medicine that can aim to treat different diseases such as diabetes, liver diseases, immuno-oncology, cardiology, dermatology and autoimmune disease. The cell therapy industry needs to overcome major challenges before the developed therapies can be brought to patients worldwide. There is a high demand to satisfy patient needs and the manufacturing technology lacks the capacity to meet this urgency. In addition, there is currently a tremendous burden of cost associated with cell and gene therapies like CART, because these treatments are being manufactured at offsite CMOs. Finally, the regulatory process is long, expensive and complicated. There is a great need for a custom-made approach that is tailored to the specific requirements of clients and designed to ensure short lead times with competitive costs, in order to bring state of the art therapies to the market. Orgenesis is establishing a one-stop-shop point of care service for hospitals to bring these therapies in a cost effective, high quality and scalable manner to patients. The organization is leveraging IP, technical expertise and know-how. The platform allows a modular cell production cGMP closed system platform for the development of early stage products. Author’s vision is providing the pathway for cell and gene therapies to cure disease, by furthering the research and development of technologies throughout the world.
