Overcoming inefficiencies to improve access to cell and gene therapy 

Drug Discovery World

The cell and gene therapy (CGT) landscape has grown significantly in the past year. One example: Zynteglo, a newly approved gene therapy priced at a record-breaking $2.8M ELISA, ELISpot), and cytotoxicity assays, single cell and whole genome sequencing, SNP analysis, and rapid sterility methods to characterise cell therapies.

CRISPR breakthroughs: New solutions for common diseases

Drug Discovery World

Rolf Turk , Senior Manager, Genomics Medicine at Integrated DNA Technologies, examines how CRISPR is being used to enhance cancer therapies. This can be achieved by the simultaneous knockout of endogenous TCR genes and the insertion of neoantigen-specific TCRs allowing cells to recognise specific mutations.

Optimising AAV capsid purification through improved analytics

Drug Discovery World

Svea Cheeseman , Refeyn, explains why better efficiency is needed to advance the production of viral vectors for use in gene therapies. Adeno-associated viruses (AAVs) are a promising, widely used vector for delivering gene therapies. In AAV therapeutics, empty capsids are those that are not packaged with the therapeutic DNA.
