This free webinar explains cryopreservation in the context of cell therapy development and manufacturing. Attendees will learn the key considerations in the cryopreservation of different biomaterials. The featured speakers will share data related to cell viability with cryopreservation according to different cell types and storage durations. The speakers will also share cryopreservation best practices, why they matter to the cell and gene therapy industry, and why it's important to continue research and innovation.
TORONTO, Dec. 19, 2023 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Cryopreservation, a cornerstone in the field of cell therapy, is the process of preserving biological source materials at ultra-low temperatures to maintain their viability and functionality for future therapeutic applications. This vital technique presents unique challenges and opportunities, and its successful execution is pivotal to the advancement of cell therapies.
In this webinar, three industry experts will share their experience on the critical importance of cryopreservation, a key step in the manufacturing of today's cell and gene therapies. Discussing considerations such as processing requirements for different biomaterials, buffer composition, controlled rate freezing, thawing protocols and cold chain logistics, the group will explain why and how cellular source materials are cryopreserved, sharing what they've come to embrace as the gold standard of cryo practices, and why experience across cell types and methods matters.
Sharing data collected over decades and recent anecdotal evidence, the group will illustrate the long-term performance and stability of cryopreserved cord blood, bone marrow transplant products and other biomaterials and what it means for the future of cell therapies. The webinar will conclude with a discussion of the Cryopreservation Center of Excellence's mission to collaborate with leaders from academia and industry to educate, innovate and advance the science of cryopreservation in support of advanced therapeutic development.
Join this webinar to learn about cryopreservation, a vital step in the manufacturing of today's cell and gene therapies.
You'll hear from experts of New York Blood Center Enterprise's cell therapy CDMO, Comprehensive Cell Solutions, including founding scientist and National Cord Blood Program (NCBP) Director, Rona Weinberg, PhD; NCBP Assistant Director Emeline Masson-Frenet, PharmD, PhD, and NCBP Director of Distribution, Ayanna Bryan, PhD for the live webinar on Monday, January 22, 2023, at 11am EST (4pm GMT/UK).
