The 7th Annual CAR–TCR Summit is uniting experts with one common goal of engineering a disease–free world this September. Across this three–day event over one thousand attendees from over three hundred companies will all be coming together to explore discovery through to commercialization to deliver safe, effective and commercially viable CAR and TCR therapies.
Join Resilience’s cell therapy leaders Eytan Abraham – VP and Business Head of Cell Therapy, Gene Therapy, and Nucleic Acid Franchises and Bruce Thompson – VP and Technical Head of Cell Therapy Franchise and a panel of industry experts as they lead a thought-provoking discussion on key industry challenges and how we can solve these bottlenecks to future-proof life-saving therapies.
Speakers: Marta Papini, Tom Ransohoff, Stewart McNaull
The need for advanced technology platforms that offer a clear, end-to-end path to commercial manufacturing is driving biotech companies to outsource critical stages of their biomanufacturing process.
In this informative webinar, biotech leaders provide thought-provoking examples of applying a stage-gate approach throughout the drug development lifecycle. The information presented will highlight how to perform critical activities leveraging process and analytical development resources from early-stage clinical to commercialization.

Resilience, Director of Analytical Development and Head of Resilience’s Gene-therapy AD-group
Patrick Starremans, PhD is Director of Analytical Development and head of Resilience’s Gene-therapy AD-group. Dr. Starremans received his PhD in Medical Sciences and Master’s in Medical Biology from the Radboud University in Nijmegen the Netherlands and an undergraduate degree in Biochemistry from Zuyd University of Applied Sciences. Following his move to the US, his career focused on molecular and cell-based assay development for the past 18 years, starting at Harvard Medical School and followed by tenures in pharmacology at Genzyme, Sanofi, Evotec and Mitobridge followed by a switch to Gene Therapy Analytical Development when he joined Voyager Therapeutics as head of Process Analytics and later as head of Analytical Development building out their CMC-Analytical capabilities and infrastructure and helping Voyager file their first successful IND for an internal program.
Join us for a panel discussion on January 27th at 12:30pm, “Technology, Disruptive Innovation and Partnerships that are revolutionizing How Medicines Are Made“, moderated by our very own David DiGiusto, CTO of Cell and Gene Therapy. Panelists will include an array of industry experts including Resilience team members: Bruce Thompson., VP & Technical Lead, Cell Therapy and John Kerwin, Senior Director & Technical Head, Gene Therapy.
The technology of manufacturing complex medicines like cell and gene therapy hasn’t kept pace with the wave of scientific discoveries fueling them. Because many of these approaches to attacking diseases are so new, the process of making them hasn’t progressed beyond methods only meant for small batch, academic labs. In this panel discussion, we will take a deeper look into what has hindered growth and scalability of these medicines, and how disruptive technology and cross-industry partnerships are driving change in this young and exciting field of medicine.
