When moving a laboratory from one location to another, you may be tempted to hire one moving company for the entire project. Desks and chairs, mass spectrometers and cryogenic freezers, stem cells and fibroblasts, all packed in the same truck. That should make things less complicated, right? Wrong. With any combination of high-value equipment, fragile […]

Part 2 of our Strategies to Speed Clinical Trials Series The path from therapeutic discovery to regulatory approval remains long, with significant time devoted to clinical testing. When investing up to 15 years or more in a potential therapeutic, with much of that time dedicated to clinical trials1, any opportunity to save time during clinical phases can […]

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 […]

Part 26 of our Bridging the Gap Series (Summary of the webinar session held in January 2026) Cell and gene therapy is changing what’s possible for patients, particularly through CAR-T therapies for certain cancers. But access isn’t equal. Who receive treatment—and when—often comes down to geography, manufacturing capacity, cost, and infrastructure. Recently, leaders from Canada’s cell therapy […]
