iBio is attempting to turn the CHO cell development paradigm on its ear with hydroponically-grown N. benthamiana. COO Randy Maddux says the approach could be modularized to speed cycle times and dramatically reduce upstream costs at scales large and small. iBio is proving out the approach on candidates for oncological, infectious, and fibrotic diseases.

Shoreline Biosciences CEO Kleanthis Xanthopoulos, Ph.D.shares on why the cell and gene immunotherapeutic market has underperformed to date, why he believes autologous is not the long-term path forward, and the safety and accessibility advantages he sees in an allogeneic-based, pluripotent stem cell approach.
