Are cell therapies the key to bridging the gap between discovery research and clinical trials? In the inaugural episode of the Bioprocessing Unfiltered podcast, Bo Wiinberg, chief business development officer at Novo Nordisk Foundation Cellerator, sat with Ran Zheng, CEO of Landmark Bio and shared his expert insight on the promise cell therapies hold for diseases with only treatments but no cures. Their conversation covers the challenges of navigating cell therapy programs through pre-clinical and clinical development journeys, how Cellerator is creating innovative spaces in CMC and manufacturing to fulfill critical needs in the translational space, and what a sustainable global cell therapy manufacturing landscape looks in 5-10 years.
