Webinar: Break the Cell Therapy Manufacturing Bottleneck with Day 0 Transduction, Day 3 Harvest

Cell therapies face manufacturing challenges due to slow, variable processes. This webinar with Dr. Carl June introduces Synecta™ T1 CDNPs, which accelerate T-cell activation, enable early transduction, and ensure high viability without extra cytokines. These nanoparticles mimic natural immune signals, simplify workflows, and work across donor and patient samples—offering scalable, flexible solutions to improve T-cell therapy production and clinical reach.

FOCUS ON OUTSOURCING

August 2025 — CDMO Opportunities And Threats Report

Each month, Outsourced Pharma works in conjunction with PharmSource, part of GlobalData, to present its “Contract Manufacturing: Opportunities and Threats (CMOT) Report” to our readers. The report identifies CDMOs that might be impacted by key events affecting their clients, including company acquisitions, product acquisitions and licenses, product approvals, late clinical product terminations, and FDA rejections.
