Resilience by Design: Lessons from Real-World Disruption
When it comes to Advanced Therapy Medicinal Products (ATMPs), disruption isn’t an “if,” it’s a “when.” When you’re dealing with unpredictable situations like geopolitical instability, sudden site closures, supply chain bottlenecks, or even weather-related delays, any disruption can potentially jeopardize patient treatments that may be irreplaceable. For sensitive therapies like these with narrow viability windows and strict temperature requirements, even a small deviation in process can have outsized consequences. In her Beyond Biotech podcast interview with Labiotech, Alison Pritchard, VP of Business Development for EMEA at Cryoport Systems, explained why resilience is one of the most critical (but often overlooked) pillars of ATMP delivery.

What’s Next for ATMP Regulation in EMEA
For advanced therapy developers expanding into Europe, regulatory approval is just the beginning. Even after securing authorization from the European Medicines Agency (EMA), companies often find themselves mired in a patchwork of national rules, pricing hurdles, and even access delays. In her recent appearance on the Beyond Biotech podcast by Labiotech, Alison Pritchard, Vice President of Business Development for Cryoport Systems in EMEA, pulled back the curtain on what it really takes to bring advanced therapies to patients across the region.
