The global impact of Precision Medicine Group.
As it happens.
Impact, observations, and insights on the evolving healthcare landscape.
Cell and gene therapies have the potential to revolutionize treatment of a wide range of diseases. With six new therapies approved in 2022, including the first allogeneic T-cell therapy, and at least as many slated for approval this year, the sector is poised for rapid growth. This innovation comes with challenges, though, and many consider 2023 to be a seminal year for establishing a strong foothold for advanced therapies in mainstream medicine.
Tim Hunt, CEO of the Alliance for Regenerative Medicine (ARM), kicked off the event with a briefing on the state of the cell and gene therapy development landscape. With 475 members worldwide, ARM focuses on convening the sector, providing data and analysis, engaging with stakeholders, and enabling the development of advanced therapies. One of their key initiatives is modernizing healthcare systems to enable access to these novel therapeutics. Highlights of this briefing are provided in this summary.
Bethesda, Md., June 27, 2023 – The complexity of manufacturing new biologics and next gen medicines demands experience, advanced technologies and excellence in performance management. Precision’s acquisition of Baseline Controls combined with the expertise of Project Farma provides an end-to-end scope of manufacturing solutions for life-science companies.
Gene editing technology has rapidly evolved over the past decade. From the initial breakthrough of sequencing the first human genome to researchers today having the ability to create genetically modified mice in as little as four weeks. CRISPR Cas-based gene editing, which acts as a pair of genomic scissors, is at the core of these innovations. The revolutionary technology has enabled rapid genome sequencing and editing to spur advancements in disease research and treatment.
In this white paper, Anshul Mangal President of Project Farma and Precision ADVANCE and Cynthia Pussinen, Advisor & Executive Consulting Partner share how the latest breakthroughs in gene editing technology have the potential to dramatically improve outcomes for patients.
