CCRM is a not-for-profit regenerative medicine innovation incubator spearheading technology commercialization and clinical translation with a strong focus on induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSC)-based therapies. iPSC-based therapies offer advantages in their potential to address clinical applicability and scalable manufacturing to meet patient demand. As the number of iPSC-based therapies in clinical development is increasing, the industry is seeing significant advancement following decades of the industry’s iPSC development efforts. Despite these noteworthy strides, there are still many existing dilemmas to address for sustained progress and commercial viability. CCRM has spent the last 10 years tackling both manufacturing and commercialization challenges in iPSC to produce GMP platform programs to broadly enable iPSC therapy companies. This talk will describe CCRMs platform program and touch on crucial elements impacting efficient and effective clinical translation of these cell therapies. The talk will explore key areas such as material access and readiness, operational intricacies, technological innovations, and standardization for iPSC reprogramming, cell banking, scale-up, gene editing and differentiation all through a manufacturing lens.
