PACT Web Seminars

In this webinar we will review how academic institutions are operationalizing their resources to offer contract manufacturing. We will also cover outsourcing of manufacturing and testing by academic institutions. The personalized nature of cellular therapy products introduces a detailed and scientific development. Academic institutes are well-equipped to develop products with scientific oversight. Their involvement also helps to accelerate their institutional ideology in furthering the growth and evolution of the field of cell therapy.
