Therapeutic Cell — This course is intended to provide a foundation in understanding the approach and application of therapeutic cell manufacturing in terms of their bioprocessing and characterization. The course uses mesenchymal stromal cells and immune cells as example test case; however, reference to additional therapeutic cell types such as other stem or progenitor cells may be included. Emphasis will be on application of bioprocessing approaches for the effective translation of cells into industrial scale therapies. The progression of the course content is intended to lead students through the conceptual process of identifying an appropriate type of therapeutic cell, based on functional attributes for a desired application. We will also examine various cell characterization techniques for clinical application.
