Gene Therapy Manufacturing Primer 201

Gene Therapy Manufacturing Primer 201 is a deep dive into cGMP manufacturing processes for AAVs. This class explores in detail the science and regulatory controls of AAV gene therapy manufacturing. It begins by elucidating the critical steps in upstream vector cGMP production platforms, including Transient Transformation (TT), Baculovirus Expression (rBV/Sf9), Herpes Simplex Expression (HSV/BHK), and Producer Cell Lines (PCL). It continues by focusing on CMC strategies and precursor materials for each production platform. Purification strategies, AAV vector product characterization, analytical testing for safety and quality, viral vector manufacturing facility design, and regulatory considerations for AAV vectors are considered in detail. Take the next step and learn the highly technical aspects of AAV gene therapy manufacturing. Enroll today!
