Cryopreservation Best Practices For Cell & Gene Therapy Source Material

Cryopreservation, a cornerstone in the field of cell therapy, is the process of preserving biological source materials at ultra-low temperatures to maintain their viability and functionality for future therapeutic applications. This vital technique presents unique challenges and opportunities, and its successful execution is pivotal to the advancement of cell therapies.

In this webinar, three industry experts share their experience on the critical importance of cryopreservation, a key step in the manufacturing of today’s cell and gene therapies. Discussing considerations such as processing requirements for different biomaterials, buffer composition, controlled rate freezing, thawing protocols and cold chain logistics, the group explains why and how cellular source materials are cryopreserved, sharing what they’ve come to embrace as the gold standard of cryo practices, and why experience across cell types and methods matters.

Sharing data collected over decades and recent anecdotal evidence, they illustrate the long-term performance and stability of cryopreserved cord blood, bone marrow transplant products and other biomaterials and what it means for the future of cell therapies. The webinar concludes with a discussion of the Cryopreservation Center of Excellence’s mission to collaborate with leaders from academia and industry to educate, innovate, and advance the science of cryopreservation in support of advanced therapeutic development.
