Establishing Gold Standard Donor Screening Strategies & Determining
Best-In-Class Cell Source Starting Material to Drive Scalability & Spearhead Successful Clinical Outcomes

Welcome to the Donor Selection & Cell Source Summit

As the allogeneic cell therapy space continues to mature with over 150+ clinical trials currently underway, and landmark milestones achieved with the first FDA approvals for allogeneic cell products – all eyes are turning to the backbones of these cell therapies – the cell donors. The field is awakening to the challenging reality of the increased demand for donor material to meet the required dosing needs for later stage clinical trials and licensed products.

Enter the timely arrival of the inaugural Donor Selection and Cell Source Summit, the pioneering forum for cell therapy leaders within process development, supply chain, procurement, R&D and analytics, placing a spotlight focus on cell source starting material for the first time.

Join experts showcasing in-depth case studies of novel technology platforms and cell sources being utilized to increase yield, and new donor characteristic screening strategies to select for ‘gold-standard’ donors to achieve optimal clinical results for patients.

Get caught up to speed on this dynamic space with expertise shared from the likes of Allogene, Caribou Bio, Poseida Therapeutics, and many others as the titans of industry unite to help you advance your knowledge on donor selection, management and sustainability to ensure a consistent and reliable supply of cell source material required for clinical trials and beyond.
