Decentralizing the Manufacturing of Cell and Gene Therapy Products

Decentralizing the manufacturing of cell and gene therapy products is a transformative approach that brings production processes closer to the point of care or the patient population. Shifting away from a centralized manufacturing model aims to overcome challenges associated with personalized and patient-specific therapies. By localizing manufacturing, logistical hurdles, transportation issues, and time constraints can be minimized, ensuring patients receive timely access to life-changing treatments.

This decentralized approach offers numerous benefits, including enhanced accessibility, streamlined supply chains, and increased flexibility. Patients can receive therapies more efficiently, as manufacturing can be tailored to individual needs and administered promptly. However, decentralization also presents challenges such as maintaining consistent quality control, regulatory compliance, and establishing robust infrastructure at multiple locations.
