Advanced Therapies Connect 2021 - Phacilitate's 2nd Virtual Experience - WATCH
Introduction
The field of gene therapy has experienced significant growth in recent years. Adenoassociated virus (AAV)–mediated therapies account for ~70% of the gene therapy market. However, the manufacturing capacity for AAV vectors remains a critical bottleneck. WuXi Advanced Therapies launched a world-class AAV suspension platform early 2020. In this webinar, we will reveal the improvements that increased viral vector titer and yield on our platform.
The advancements in the platform include:
The advancements in the platform include:
- Significant increase of viral vector titer
- Increased coverage of AAV serotypes
- Decreased process variability by using chemically defined growth medium
- Optimized and simplified downstream processing
- An increase in integrated testing capacity.
