Takeda's cell therapy manufacturing journey

Global Apheresis Network Management for Cell and Gene Therapies

High-quality starting materials are the cornerstone of successful cell and gene therapy development. Yet the collection and management of those critical materials often receive insufficient focus.

Until something goes wrong.

We brought together an expert panel that collectively manages over 45 collection centers across Europe to share real-world approaches.

 The big question? What separates successful starting material programs from those that struggle with variability, delays, and compliance issues?
