Accelerate Your Trials Without Losing Control With an End-to-End Supply Chain Model
As programs shift from Phase I to Phase II, the workload starts to overlap in new ways. Sample volumes increase as more sites operate in parallel, and activities that once occurred in sequence now run at the same time. The work itself is largely the same, but keeping it coordinated requires more time and attention.

Validated Shipping Systems are the Foundation of Risk-Mitigated Animal Health Logistics
Animal health logistics are entering a phase where variability is no longer tolerable. Vaccines, biologics, reproductive materials, and advanced therapies are sensitive to critical parameters like temperature and handling conditions, and as regulatory expectations continue to move toward tighter controls and clearer documentation, shipping has become so much more than a support function.

Where Innovation Is Moving the Advanced Therapies Supply Chain: A Q&A with Alison Pritchard
Following the Advanced Therapies Congress 2026, where Alison Pritchard delivered a keynote and participated in a panel discussion, she sat down for a brief conversation to expand on some of the themes that emerged during this year’s event. Alison’s perspective captures a few of the ideas she believes are shaping the next phase of supply chain design in advanced therapies.

The Visibility and Traceability Animal Health Programs Need
Temperature-sensitive materials now move through animal health programs in far greater volumes, and that shift has raised the bar for how their transit needs to be documented. Teams responsible for oversight want documentation that reflects actual handling conditions from origin to delivery, with enough detail to support a clear assessment of risk. While the regulatory environment for animal health lags behind that for human health, programs are increasingly expected to provide records that reflect the actual conditions and custody of the material throughout transit.

Biosecurity in Transit: How Veri-Clean® Protects Vaccines and Reproductive Materials
The outcomes of animal health vaccine programs, veterinary networks, and breeding operations depend on precision. Within these facilities, biosecurity protocols guide every action, and teams continuously monitor conditions. Everyone understands that dosage potency and genetic integrity hang in the balance, so nothing is left to chance. But the moment materials leave those walls, the equation changes.

Build Standardization Where It Matters Most: Turning Stability into True Consistency
There is a quiet assumption that many early-phase teams make when they transition to cryopreserved starting material... that freezing alone will solve their variability problem. On the surface, it feels true. Cryopreservation stops the clock, stabilizes the cells, and removes the minute-to-minute fragility of fresh material. But the stability that teams expect isn’t guaranteed by freezing itself, it’s created by how the freezing is done. And in practice, this is where programs often get surprised.

Preparing Animal Health Logistics for a More Regulated Future
Bringing an advanced animal health therapy to market today demands the same operational discipline once reserved for human biopharma. Yet animal health developers are still operating in an environment that lacks the robust logistics standards that govern human therapeutic transport. As programs expand across sites and geographies, the lack of shared and consistent handling expectations creates variability that becomes one of the biggest operational barriers to scale.

Celebrating Innovation at the Cryoport Systems Grand Opening in Louvres, France
Cryoport Systems recently opened the doors of its newest Global Supply Chain Center (GSCC) in Louvres, France, marking a major step forward in how cell and gene therapies move safely and compliantly across Europe and the world. Strategically located just outside Paris and minutes from Charles de Gaulle Airport (CDG), this GSCC strengthens our integrated network and brings critical capabilities closer to sponsors, CROs, CDMOs, and clinical sites throughout the region, and strengthens our support of regional animal health and reproductive medicine organizations.
