Session 1
10:05 – 10.55
The right place at the right time
Manufacturing ATMPs requires advanced skills and expensive equipment. Does the UK system of science parks and innovation hubs support access to facilities and expertise?
We used to have more fun
The current economic environment is tough, especially when it comes to funding. When can we expect to see a return to previous levels of funding for the ATMP sector?
Session 2
11:00 – 11.50
Can we make them cheaper?
Advanced Therapies offer huge benefits, but often at a huge price tag. How can we improve standardisation and reduce the costs of manufacturing?
I got skills, they’re multiplying
Between 2021 and 2026, the UK advanced therapy and bioprocessing workforce is predicted to increase by over 100%. How can the industry and government work together to attract and retain the skills to support this growth?
