SUMMARY:Design scalable downstream processes with practical purification and analytical strategies
DESCRIPTION:Downstream process development is rapidly evolving as new modalities\, from mAbs to mRNA\, viral vectors\, and other complex molecules\, enter development pipelines. This webinar will share practical strategies and analytical considerations for designing robust\, scalable purification processes across diverse molecule types. \nDrawing on decades of chromatography innovation and the expertise of our global Fast Trak™ process development (PD) teams\, Cytiva speakers will show how we use tools such as our Biacore™ surface plasmon resonance (SPR) system and size-exclusion chromatography with multi-angle light scattering (SEC-MALS) to clarify complex mechanisms\, address unpredictable impurities\, and overcome challenges that traditional approaches cannot resolve. \nYou will also hear how the combination of this experience\, advanced analytics\, and focused knowledge transfer can accelerate development\, reduce risk\, and help customers build lasting internal capability and true process ownership. \nUsing case examples spanning proteins\, antibodies\, nucleic acids\, viruses\, and vesicles\, we will feature common downstream pitfalls and highlight how our integrated chromatography and analytical strengths help avoid them. Whether you are advancing proof of concept or preparing to scale up\, you will leave with a clear view of how Cytiva PD\, SPR\, and chromatography leadership enables efficient\, confident downstream development—even for the most complex modalities. \nKey Learning Objectives: \n    Learn practical\, scalable approaches for developing chromatography‑based purification processes\n    Understand how advanced analytical tools such as SPR (Biacore™ system) and SEC‑MALS reveal complex molecular interactions and impurity mechanisms\n    Explore how combining chromatography expertise\, advanced analytics\, and structured knowledge transfer accelerates development and builds long‑term process capability

DESCRIPTION:As cell and gene therapy companies navigate the 2026 landscape marked by manufacturing overcapacity\, a strategic question is no longer if to outsource\, but how.  \nFor leaders across MSAT\, CMC\, and technical operations\, the choice between renting\, leasing\, or building distributed manufacturing capabilities has direct implications for speed to clinic\, capital efficiency\, and long-term scalability. Critically\, many organizations still face a persistent gap in generating high-quality IND-enabling material early\, an issue that can delay clinical entry and jeopardize key funding milestones.  \nIn this Cell & Gene Live\, Chief Editor Erin Harris will be joined by Sugu Patro\, Ph.D.\, SVP Global Process Development\, at Kite Pharma and Emily Moran\, Founder and Principal of 3LB Consulting\, who will unpack what biotech teams should prioritize when evaluating partners in an overcapacity market\, how to align early manufacturing strategy with clinical and financial goals. They will also share lessons to be drawn from Kite’s in-house expertise to build more resilient\, future-ready manufacturing models.

SUMMARY:AI Meets Informed Consent: Opportunity\, Risk\, and What IRBs Need to See
DESCRIPTION:The informed consent process is an ongoing dialogue that helps participants decide\, with full understanding\, whether to take part in a clinical trial. As generative AI begins to influence how consent documents are created\, translated\, and delivered\, this process is becoming more complex. \nJoin experts in IRB oversight\, research ethics\, and health literacy to explore the opportunities and challenges of AI-assisted informed consent. This session will cover ethical foundations\, emerging use cases for generative AI\, and what sponsors and CROs need to communicate to IRBs when using these tools. \nDesigned for clinical operations leaders across biopharma\, medtech\, and CROs\, this discussion will provide a practical framework for evaluating AI-driven consent approaches while keeping patient understanding and protection at the center.

SUMMARY:From Protocol to Patient Risk: How to Build Safer\, Faster Trials by Integrating Clinical Operations and Pharmacovigilance Early
DESCRIPTION:Clinical execution and pharmacovigilance are often managed in parallel rather than in partnership. For sponsors\, that disconnect can create avoidable delays\, inconsistent safety decision-making\, protocol amendments\, and added pressure on sites and study teams. In early-phase and complex trials\, where risk profiles are still emerging\, these gaps can have a direct impact on both patient safety and development timelines. \nJoin experts from Ergomed Clinical Research and PrimeVigilance for a practical discussion on how earlier integration across clinical operations\, medical monitoring\, and pharmacovigilance can strengthen study oversight from the outset. This webinar will examine where silos tend to emerge\, how integrated planning can reduce downstream issues\, and what sponsors can do to build a more connected model across protocol strategy\, trial conduct\, individual case safety report handling\, and signal and risk management. \nAttendees will gain practical insight into how a more aligned clinical and safety strategy can support better benefit-risk decisions\, reduce operational risk\, and help keep complex studies on track. \nKey Takeaways:\n– Why separating clinical operations and safety oversight creates avoidable risk in clinical development\n– Where silos most often create issues\, including delayed decisions\, protocol amendments\, inconsistent safety data handling incl. signal and risk management\, and added site burden\n– What integrated planning and execution looks like in practice across study design\, medical monitoring\, pharmacovigilance\, and trial conduct\n– How earlier collaboration can support stronger decision-making\, operational readiness\, and timeline protection\n– Practical ways to reduce downstream risk while improving both patient safety and study efficiency
