It is no wonder that an increasing number of developers are looking to outside collaborators for their expertise. Whether you are a large <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thermofisher.com\/us\/en\/home\/biotech.html\">biotech<\/a> company with a portfolio of commercialized therapeutics or a startup looking to bring your innovative product to market, this blog post explains how collaboration can help you accelerate your cell therapy development timelines\u2014and avoid headaches along the way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/admin.acceleratingscience.com\/behindthebench\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2022\/09\/cell-therapy-collaborator-thermo-fisher-scientific-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"cell therapy collaborator thermo fisher scientific\" class=\"wp-image-17172\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-is-collaborating-right-for-you\">Is collaborating right for you?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>To answer this question, there are several factors to consider:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Maturity of assets \u2013 <\/strong>Where you are in your development and manufacturing pipeline determines the level of support you may need and determines whether a collaborator is right for you. If you are a developer with early-phase therapeutics in the pipeline, you would most likely benefit from an experienced collaborator that can work with you to streamline, scale, standardize, and automate your manufacturing process. Considerations to work through would include raw materials, closed instrumentation, and process optimization support.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Type of therapeutic<\/strong> \u2013 The type of cell therapy you are developing can greatly impact your manufacturing strategy. For example, with an allogeneic therapy the scale dramatically differs from the manufacturing process required for autologous therapies. Additionally, cell type specific considerations can add complexities and additional steps to your workflows\u2014therefore, it is important to work with a collaborator knowledgeable across multiple workflows. A great collaborator can help a cell-therapy developer understand the limitations of their source cells and aid in solutions for cell processing or cell modification. Whatever the type of therapeutic, you will want to team up with a collaborator that has expertise in end-to-end process optimization.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Level of expertise<\/strong> \u2013 The relative maturity of your organization can be a good indicator of your needs as a cell therapy developer. For example, an early-stage, emerging or startup biotech may lack the trained workforce and expertise necessary to hit key product-development milestones in a timely fashion. In this case, working with a knowledgeable collaborator can efficiently guide product-incorporation, tech transfer, and process optimization to help accelerate speed-to-clinic. Most importantly, through collaborative interactions there are opportunities to gain early access to new, innovative Thermo Fisher Scientific technologies under development and influence product capabilities to fit your needs. Pairing with the expertise and flexibility of an experienced industrial collaborator can complement the processes and capabilities already in place.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-what-makes-a-successful-collaboration\">What makes a successful collaboration?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The key to a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thermofisher.com\/blog\/behindthebench\/cell-therapy-development-collaboration\/\">strong collaboration<\/a> is to communicate often, early, and transparently. It is important for cell therapy developers to think about their process development needs from the outset. A capable collaborator can help support these activities by working with the developer, bringing complementary knowledge and skills around process development. Equally important is that both companies recognize and identify where synergies exist, where friction is present, and that both parties take mutual action to mitigate against any gaps or bottlenecks by communicating frequently.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Through our collaboration centers, cell therapy developers can leverage&nbsp;our expansive product and process optimization knowledge in order to create comprehensive, end-to-end manufacturing workflows that can scale for commercialization.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.thermofisher.com\/us\/en\/home\/clinical\/cell-gene-therapy\/cell-therapy\/cell-therapy-manufacturing-solutions\/collaboration.html?cid=cdi_cgx_sbu_r01_co_cp1429_pjt7559_cgt000000_0so_blg_op_awa_og_s00_ctiblog2\">Learn more about the collaboration program.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-connecting-expertise-with-excellence\">Connecting expertise with excellence<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Learn about how <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thermofisher.com\/us\/en\/home\/clinical\/cell-gene-therapy\/cell-gene-therapy-learning-center\/cell-gene-therapy-resource-library\/ucsf-cell-therapy-manufacturing-collaboration-center.html?cid=cdi_cgx_sbu_r01_co_cp1429_pjt7559_cgt000000_0so_blg_op_awa_og_s00_ctiblog2\">Thermo Fisher Scientific and the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF) are teaming up<\/a> to build and operate a 44,000-square-foot, state-of-the-art cell therapy development, manufacturing and collaboration center in hopes of improving patient access to transformative cell-based treatments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-collaborate-with-us\">Collaborate with us<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Connect with our knowledge and experience in complete cell therapy manufacturing solutions.
