This handbook provides an in-depth review of information across the developmental spectrum of gene and cell therapy products. From introductory information to state-of-the-art technologies and concepts, the book provides insights into upstream processes such as vector design and construction, purification, formulation and fill/finish, as well as delivery options. Planning steps for compliance with current good manufacturing practice (cGMP) to readiness for chemistry, manufacturing and controls (CMC) are also discussed. This book wraps up with examples of successes and pitfalls addressed by experts who have navigated the multiple challenges that are part of any innovative endeavor.
