  • 🌟 Gratitude Series: Celebrating Innovation in Cell Therapy Manufacturing 🌟 This week, we’re spotlighting how emerging technologies are tackling the high costs of manufacturing advanced cell therapies, making these life-saving treatments more accessible to patients worldwide. 💬 "Innovative technologies are transforming how we think about manufacturing," said Krishna C V., Senior Field Application Scientist at CellFE. "By reducing production costs and increasing scalability, these tools are opening doors for patients who might otherwise not have access to these therapies. This is how we ensure cell therapies become a global solution—not a privilege." 💡 The Current Challenge Deloitte’s 2024 Advanced Therapy Industry Report highlights “improved manufacturing technology” as a top force influencing the commercialization of therapies in the next 12-18 months, underscoring how the current cost and speed of cell therapy production remains a critical hurdle for therapeutic manufacturers. Innovators around the world are stepping up. In India, Dr. Alka Dwivedi and colleagues achieved dramatic progress by producing CAR T-cell treatments at a fraction of the typical cost, utilizing streamlined processes and novel cellular engineering technologies. Rapid, easily scalable gene editing tools - like CellFE’s Infinity MTx platform - are similarly poised to address challenges in cell therapy manufacturing by: 👉 Reducing payload requirements to material costs by up to 30%. 👉 Boosting therapeutic potency to enable fewer cells per treatment. 👉 Optimizing workflows to reduce steps and improve efficiency. From CAR T-cell breakthroughs in India to enabling technologies like the Infinity MTx, every step brings us closer to a world where life-saving cell therapies accessible for all who need them. What innovation or breakthrough are you grateful for this year?

    🧬 CAR T Therapies: Changing Lives, Restoring Hope 🧬 This week in CellFE's gratitude series, we’re reflecting on how CAR T-cell therapies are revolutionizing cancer care. For patients like Laurie Adami, who endured 12 years of chemotherapy and failed treatments for non-Hodgkin lymphoma, CAR T therapy was life changing. Just one month after receiving Kite Pharma’s CAR T therapy, Laurie was declared cancer-free—and five years later, she’s still thriving. 💬 "CAR T-cell therapies are transforming cancer treatment," shared Paul Carman, Head of Commercial, CellFE. "They provide patients not just a chance at survival but a faster, more effective alternative to exhausting treatments like chemotherapy.” 🔍 𝗛𝗼𝘄 𝗱𝗼 𝗻𝗲𝘅𝘁-𝗴𝗲𝗻𝗲𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝘁𝗼𝗼𝗹𝘀 𝗳𝗶𝘁 𝗶𝗻? A recent article from Stanford Cancer Institute’s Feldman Lab highlights non-viral methods as powerful alternatives to viral vectors in CAR T engineering. Combined with rapid processing tools like CellFE’s transfection system, these non-viral methods can be utilized at larger scale to deliver cell therapies faster, safer, and at lower costs. This means more patients could gain access to life-saving CAR T treatments - helping to close the gap between innovation and accessibility. Stories like Laurie’s inspire us to keep driving progress in cell therapy. 🌟 ➡️ What has inspired your team this year? 𝗦𝗵𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝗶𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁𝘀! 🔗 Laurie’s full story: https://lnkd.in/eRZeduia 🔗 Feldman Lab article: https://lnkd.in/e9JS8r63 #GratitudeMonth #CellTherapy #CART #CGT #Innovation #NonViral #PatientStories #RegenerativeMedicine #Nonelectroporative #Biotech

    🍂 Kicking Off a Month of Gratitude in Cell Therapy! 🍂  It’s the season to give thanks, and CellFE is cell-ebrating each week by spotlighting some of the incredible strides in cell therapy that our team is grateful for.     📣 This week: We’re starting off with a historic milestone — the FDA’s first approval of an engineered cell therapy for solid tumors!     Why is this so significant? Traditionally, CAR T-cell therapies have transformed outcomes for blood cancers, but solid tumors have been much harder to treat due to complex barriers. The recent FDA approval of Adaptimmune’s Tecelra for use on solid tumor sarcoma shows that engineered cell therapies can effectively target solid tumors, expanding the possibilities for patients with difficult-to-treat cancers and expanding a new frontier for the cell therapy industry.    💬 “This approval is a tremendous moment,” CellFE CSO, Todd Sulchek, shared. “It demonstrates the progress the scientists in the field have made in cell engineering and sets a powerful precedent for expanding cell therapy applications.”    For patients, this means new hope, especially for those facing aggressive cancers where options have been limited. For the industry, this breakthrough encourages more investment, expansion, and development into solid tumor treatments. We’re thrilled to see the progress as cell therapies move beyond blood cancers to tackle a wider range of indications, potentially impacting millions of patients’ lives.    Stay tuned each week over the next month as we continue to spotlight cell therapy breakthroughs worth cell-ebrating!    Read the press release on FDA-approval: https://lnkd.in/e_mSHWBf #celltherapy #biotech #CGT #regenerativemedicine #solidtumors #innovation #breakthroughmedicine
