Event Details

IMAPAC will be hosting a series of monthly webcasts from March 2022 to September 2022 in the lead up to our main conference, 6th Annual Cell & Gene Therapy World Asia 2022 in Singapore. These webcasts will cover timely topics facing the APAC cell & gene therapy industry, and will set the stage for more in-depth discussion this coming September during the main conference. 

APAC Cell & Gene Therapy Festival 2022 aims to bring together 4-5 expertises in the Cell and Gene Therapy sector and solution providers across the Cell and Gene Therapy development lifecycle into a panel discussion, to find solutions and to maximize the value of new therapies.

In gene therapy the genes inside the patient’s body’s cells are altered to treat or stop the disease. Viral vectors are widely used in this gene modification. Ensure the safe administration of patients’ safety should be ensured in the construction of the viral vector and in the bioprocessing. Careful design of the cellular processes is required such that the virus does not become replication-competent and ensures strategies to control the contamination during the upstream and downstream processes. A synopsis of the tripod strategies of prevent, detect, and remove incorporated into the bioprocessing of viral vectors will be discussed in the presentation to ensure the finished product's safety and minimize the risk to patient safety.
