Overcoming inefficiencies to improve access to cell and gene therapy 

Drug Discovery World

Before 2019, CGT drug developers still had a young, academic mindset, ordering reagents, materials, and equipment haphazardly and assuming they would show up when needed. ELISA, ELISpot), and cytotoxicity assays, single cell and whole genome sequencing, SNP analysis, and rapid sterility methods to characterise cell therapies.

Optimising AAV capsid purification through improved analytics

Drug Discovery World

The threat of empty capsids Capsids are the protein shell that would usually enclose the genetic material of a virus. In AAV therapeutics, empty capsids are those that are not packaged with the therapeutic DNA. Partially-filled capsids may also be present, and contain packaged process-related impurities or truncated genetic material.
