Access to advanced therapies is often framed as a challenge of resources and infrastructure. But in Europe, a bold new model is reshaping how patients receive life-saving CAR T-cell therapy. Instead of relying solely on commercial manufacturing and centralized approval processes, the Hospital Clínic de Barcelona has pioneered a hospital-based pathway that delivers CAR-T directly […]

Cell and gene therapy (CGT) manufacturing can be complex. Part of the process requires precise, contamination-free thawing across a variety of critical materials. While we often focus on thawing cryopreserved cell products, another key component in CGT workflows is the controlled thawing of viral vectors used in gene modification. Researchers of King’s College London, UK, […]

Providing access to transformative cell and gene therapies is one of the most urgent challenges in modern healthcare. These treatments offer the possibility of curing conditions once thought untreatable—yet in the United States, only a fraction of eligible patients are receiving them. The barriers are complex: financial risk for payers, short-term budgeting in a long-term […]

Access to life-saving cell and gene therapies is one of the most critical challenges facing healthcare today. While these therapies offer remarkable hope for patients battling life-threatening conditions like cancer and rare genetic diseases, the reality is that only a fraction of eligible patients are actually receiving them. The reasons are rarely scientific. More often, […]
