Marty Giedlin, vice president and head of technology operations at Senti Bio, speaks with moderator Ben Locwin, vice president of project solutions at Black Diamond Networks, to share his experiences and provide advice on how allogeneic cell therapy companies can implement better manufacturing strategies. He discusses understanding and managing manufacturing expectations, letting biology drive strategic operations, and why data must drive chemistry, manufacturing, and controls. Giedlin also outlines how to best characterize starting materials, why a one-size-fits-all approach to process manufacturing is unrealistic, his predictions for the industry over the next five years, and his work developing NK-CAR treatments for various cancer cells.
