Our DNA

Cell & Gene Collaborative provides an informal, virtual setting for manufacturing professionals to meet their peers, brainstorm, and share their biggest learnings. Think “fire-side chat” meets “15-people-or-less video call with colleagues”— all questions answered, no hand-raising necessary.

Several times a year, Cell & Gene Collaborative Director Anna Rose Welch sits down to moderate an invite-only discussion between members of the cell and gene therapy and/or RNA therapeutics manufacturing community.

Whether it be a moderated discussion between Cell & Gene Collaborative’s Director Anna Rose Welch and a specific manufacturing subject matter expert, or a community-led “ask the manufacturing exec anything” Q&A session, these invite-only conversations reveal the biggest themes, challenges, and best-business practices impacting the day-to-day evolution of the advanced therapies manufacturing paradigm.

For a list of last season’s discussions, please see below.
