At the most recent edition of the Pharma Manufacturing World Summit held May 15-16, 2023, in Boston, we spoke with Judith Koliwer, PhD, the Principal Consultant Cell & Gene Therapy Software, Körber Business Area Pharma at Körber Pharma Software. Judith is one of the industry’s leading experts on Cell and Gene Therapies, as she led an academic research group on CGT processes years before these new therapies were approaching commercial manufacturing. At PMWS23 she gave a presentation entitled, “The Iterative Approach to a Digital Cell and Gene Therapy Process – an Overview & Best Practice.” In this interview we discuss what she shared with the audience, as well as her thoughts on current issues and trends pharmaceutical manufacturers need to be aware of as they forge a path into the new frontier of medicine. Give this one a listen!
