Favorable regulatory outcomes and high demand for novel and on-demand cell and gene therapies have poised viral vector manufacturing for a significant jump.
At present, the availability of fully characterized, consistent, and validated starting materials has posed significant limitations in this field, but new, higher throughput processes are gaining momentum, lowering material costs and increasing scalability. Historically, cell and gene therapies have been used to cure rare and ultra-rare diseases. With new efficiencies on the horizon, what does this mean for the future of these therapies and their potential to treat a wider patient population?
In this webinar, our panel of experts will discuss:
Rachel Smith
Portfolio Director, Veristat

Mariana Oviedo Ovando, MSc, PhD
Project Manager II, Veristat
The development of RNA and DNA based therapeutic approaches and bringing them from bench to bedside, has been of particular interest to Mariana. She earned a degree in Microbiology from the National University of Río Cuarto, Argentina then went on to receive an MSc in Ribosomal RNA Biogenesis from the University of Guelph, and a PhD from Simon Fraser University where she explored the regulatory roles of RNAs in bacterial transcription and parasite pathogenesis. She’s worked as an epidemiologist in clinical research settings and has been published in Haemophilia, Future Oncology, and BMC Genomics.
