Can Innovation Drive Down Cell Therapy Manufacturing Costs?

The high cost of producing new cell and gene therapies is one of the largest issues facing the industry. After launching Kymriah and Yescarta, Novartis’ price tags were $475,000 and $375,000, respectively. Advancements in manufacturing are driving costs down, but not at the required pace. 

In this on-demand webinar Cell & Gene Chief Editor Erin Harris talks with Dr. Mark Gilbert, SVP of R&D at Acepodia, Thomas Lequertier, Head of Cell Therapy Manufacturing Unit at Celyad Oncology, and Luděk Sojka, Ph.D., Chief Technology Officer at SOTIO, about the innovations in manufacturing that can reduce both costs and risks.
