Accessibility And Scalability Of Gene Therapy

From my perspective, I see an industry going through rapid change as gene therapy moves from a proof of concept to more mainstream products, hoping to release the full potential of these life-changing medicines.

Challenges in Gene Therapy

To me, the key issue is the accessibility of these medicines to address wider disease areas and broader populations, which will need to achieve significant improvements in the levels of productivity and the scale of production of vectors and plasmid DNA, alongside this there is also a need to reduce doses through improved vector design.

Addressing These Challenges

There is a significant need for innovation to achieve these goals, building on the existing knowledge in bioprocessing. To achieve this, there is a need for collaboration between product developers, manufacturers, and suppliers to develop the needed solutions.
