GMP manufacturing for exosome-based therapies: the critical role of analytics and process design for clinical production and scale-up

When producing exosomes-based therapies, analytics and process design are key to build a successful manufacturing process that keeps you in control of your product for clinical and beyond. There is a fine balance to find, in order to measure appropriately the critical quality attributes of your product, without over-complicating an already complex validation process. During this webinar, our experts will propose a roadmap for EV analytics and process design.

  • Extracellular vesicle biology as new drug modality
  • Analytics for process design and definition of exosome drug substance
  • Manufacturing of exosomes, challenges and opportunities
  • How to establish an effective process for clinical manufacturing and beyond
