How Cidara Got Its Molecule Back
In a dramatic turn of events that makes for some great storytelling, Cidara's novel drug-Fc conjugate, once locked up in a deal with J&J, is now squarely back in the biotech's hands and moving forward with an aggressive phase 2b study.
The urgency to develop novel therapeutics must be balanced by rigorous safety testing, but cell and gene therapy testing protocols, of which there are many, have to date been neither standard nor quick. What role are outsourced testing service providers playing to change that paradigm?
Heidi Zhang, Ph.D., explains Tune Therapeutics' epigenetic approach to gene therapy and how the company is preparing its lead candidate for the clinic, as well as it's modular approach to automation.
Susan Sharfstein, Ph.D., explains how discovery-driven research can further our understanding of cellular biology and ultimately inform cell line development.
Leading experts in gene therapy discuss CMC strategy for platform technologies, product lifecycle management, and the role CDMOs play in moving the space forward.
