Historically, the heavily regulated biopharma industry has been slow to adopt new technologies. However, a shift toward automation is vital to ensure that next-generation solutions–such as cell and gene therapies–are produced at scale.
Less than one in five senior pharma executives strongly believe that frontier technologies, such as artificial intelligence, are widely adopted to support automation and increase the speed of specific processes. With cell therapies approved by global regulatory bodies, it is time to accelerate smart technologies and cell and gene therapy manufacturing.
Today’s cell therapy treatments are often made on a small-scale, include manual preparation steps, and are produced for a clinical trial setting. Researchers spend days processing cellular material, monitoring...
