How Cell and Gene Manufacturers Can Scale to Meet Demand

Between 2022 and 2030, the cell and gene therapy sector is expected to experience a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 39.42 percent, BioSpace said of a recent Vision Research Report. This is quite a large anticipated growth; how will startups and current manufacturing companies work to meet this growing demand? On today’s episode of…

Between 2022 and 2030, the cell and gene therapy sector is expected to experience a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 39.42 percent, BioSpace said of a recent Vision Research Report.

This is quite a large anticipated growth; how will startups and current manufacturing companies work to meet this growing demand?

On today’s episode of Exceeding Your Benchmark, Host Sumit Verma, Senior Vice President, Global Strategic Manufacturing at Iovance Biotherapeutics, addresses cell and gene therapy industry trends and challenges and what manufacturers can do to promote growth in the sector.

Verma also discussed…

  1. The greatest challenges biopharma startups face
  2. How established CGT manufacturers are preparing to meet an increased demand
  3. What place automation has in advanced cell manufacturing

Verma believes there are three key areas manufacturers need to target to help supply meet increasing demand. “I think most players are focusing on three big things: one is around scalability, the second is around supply chain, making sure we have all the components, and last is about talent. Verma said of the talent piece, “There aren’t many people who have advanced programs for therapeutic manufacturing today…there are a lot of synergies and the big pharma have done a great job establishing developing programs that are very supportive of their large plants and their scalable efforts and we’ve seen the need to do that in cell and gene therapy.

Antibody developability checks are moving into discovery instead of waiting for development

Antibody developability checks are moving into discovery instead of waiting for development

Maria Gonzalez-Pajuelo of FairJourney Bio says the order in antibody discovery is changing: developability has become a much more important consideration during discovery, rather than an issue left until later-stage development. The goal, she says, is that what comes out of discovery is something CMC can take forward easily.

  • 01Discovery-stage developability screens can rank many antibodies tested once or twice and may reduce surprises later in development, while development still focuses on several lots of a single antibody and answers different questions.

Caraballo expects AI across all five tracks at ISPE’s 2026 Annual Meeting

Caraballo expects AI across all five tracks at ISPE’s 2026 Annual Meeting

ISPE’s 2026 Annual Meeting and Expo in Washington, DC organizes its program around five tracks running from discovery to governance, with international program committee chair Connie Langer of Pfizer Global Supply and executive chair Jose Caraballo of JCO Global Advisory LLC describing how the tracks connect—and why AI is treated as a cross-cutting topic rather than a standalone track. Deloitte’s December 2025 survey of 280 executives frames the mood the program is built for.

  • 01ISPE’s 2026 Annual Meeting has no dedicated AI track; executive chair Jose Caraballo expects AI presentations across all five tracks, from discovery to governance.
  • 02Deloitte’s December 2025 survey of 280 biopharma and medtech C-suite executives found more than 75% confident in their own outlook but only 41% optimistic about the global economy, a mood the story says the ISPE chairs are programming for.
  • 03A staffing firm reports life sciences job openings falling even as digital fluency becomes a required skill, so the upskilling burden lands on the people already employed, which is where the mandatory, university-partnered AI training Connie Langer describes at her company sits.

Crown Bioscience's San Diego site fits the tumor model to the therapy, not the reverse

Crown Bioscience's San Diego site fits the tumor model to the therapy, not the reverse

Crown Bioscience's San Diego site designs preclinical tumor models to match specific therapies and delivery routes, rather than forcing treatments into standard study designs. It combines custom surgical procedures, cell line-derived xenografts, patient-derived xenografts (including post-treatment models), and biomarker capabilities to generate translational data that can help sponsors decide whether to advance a program.

  • 01Orthotopic brain tumor implantation using tagged models lets researchers track tumor growth in the original organ, aligning the model and delivery route with how therapies are intended to be tested.
  • 02Patient-derived xenografts developed from tumors after prior treatment may better reflect progressed disease, helping teams study therapies aimed at patients whose cancer has advanced after earlier treatment.
  • 03Combining biomarker analysis of preclinical model samples with clinical sample testing at one site could make it easier to connect what is measured in animals with what is later measured in patients.
