Part 1 of our Strategies to Speed Clinical Trials Series In the ever-competitive drug development landscape, time is a precious and limited resource. During often-complex clinical trials, every delay can have a real-world impact on patients, healthcare systems, and the bottom line. In fact, one recent review determined that reducing clinical development time from 10 months to […]

What Happens when Your Cryo Storage Can’t Keep Up? Cryogenic storage rarely makes it onto the list of things that sink a cell and gene therapy program. And that’s exactly the problem. By the time cryogenic storage becomes visibly unmanageable, with freezers multiplying down the hallway, operators spending hours tracking down a single sample, or […]
