Overcoming Regulatory Hurdles in AAV Production

Biotech, Drug Discovery & Development, Life Science, Pharma, Pharma Manufacturing & Supply Chain,
  • Wednesday, October 22, 2025 | 1pm EDT (12pm CDT / 10am PDT)
  • 60 min

As cell and gene therapy (CGT) advances, regulatory expectations around product quality and manufacturing rigor continue to rise, especially in viral vector production, such as AAV production. One emerging challenge is the need to demonstrate clearance of residual reagents used during upstream processing, a requirement increasingly emphasized by regulatory agencies like the FDA.

In this webinar, the featured speakers will explore how AAV manufacturers can address this pain point through strategic partnerships and innovations. They’ll introduce a newly developed residual reagent assay designed for use in AAV production workflows. This type of assay helps streamline regulatory submissions and supports quality assurance in viral vector workflows.

Register for this webinar to learn how this assay can support a compliance strategy and hear directly from the experts driving these innovations in AAV production.
