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.

Expert Q&A: Is Standardization the Bottleneck or Breakthrough to Building Scalable and Cost-Effective CGT Programs?
Cell and gene therapy (CGT) companies are under constant pressure to do more while hitting milestones earlier. Demonstrate manufacturability. Ensure regulatory readiness. Design for scalability and patient access. And do all of this with more constrained resources and increasingly aggressive timelines. Building on our recent panel discussion, we gathered extended perspectives from Dr. Don Fink (Dark Horse Consulting Group), Audrey Greenberg (Mayo Venture Partners), Dr. Dominic Clarke (Cryoport Systems), and Kurtis Carlisle (Cabaletta Bio).

2025 Year in Review: Turning Standards and Resilience into Outcomes
If you work within the advanced therapy ecosystem, you already know the story of 2025 from an industry standpoint, where science continued accelerating while funding and commercialization hinged on whether the supporting systems could keep up. For Cryoport Systems, that reality was a catalyst. This year, we raised the bar yet again and demonstrated how having the right strategic partnership behind your end-to-end supply chain can turn logistics into leverage, can transform compliance into confidence, and can spin scale into speed.

Driving Compliance and Standardization in CGT Supply Chains
As cell and gene therapies (CGTs) continue to advance and more therapies reach late-stage clinical trials and commercialization, the complexity of the related logistics is only increasing. Therapies are crossing borders, reaching broader patient populations, and expanding into global distribution, all of which introduces risk if standards are inconsistent. Compliance and standardization, as a result, are essential for ensuring both scalability and patient safety.

Setting the Benchmark for Quality in Cell and Gene Therapy Logistics
Quality in cell and gene therapy (CGT) is the foundation that determines whether a therapy reaches a patient intact and effective. As the industry increasingly scales from early development of CGTs to global commercialization, the margin for error narrows as volume and complexity increase. Standards like ISO 21973 provide a framework, but true industry leadership comes from how those standards are applied. In this, Cryoport Systems is setting that benchmark.

What is ISO 21973 and Why It Matters for Cell and Gene Therapy
Cell and gene therapies (CGTs) are transforming medicine, but the complexity of these treatments introduces new challenges for supply chain management. Every shipment represents a therapy that could change or save a life, which is a level of responsibility that demands precision and transparency, as well as standards that leave absolutely no room for error. ISO 21973:2020 was created to meet that need.

Beyond the Box: Why Shipping System Qualification Matters in Advanced Therapies
For advanced therapy logistics, quality isn’t limited to what happens inside the manufacturing suite. It extends across the entire supply chain, from packaging and transport to the systems that safeguard material integrity at every handoff. Yet one of the most critical (and often underestimated) steps in ensuring integrity is a shipping system qualification.

Scale Smarter: How Global Supply Chain Centers Amplify CGT Program Growth
Cell and gene therapy (CGT) programs are among the most complex and sensitive operations in the life sciences. From cryopreservation and biostorage to logistics and regulatory compliance, every step in the supply chain can influence product integrity, clinical timelines, and the scalability of the program. For program heads as well as clinical and technical operations teams, the challenge becomes bigger than merely moving materials. It quickly becomes a challenge of scaling efficiently while maintaining compliance and supporting growth across a global network.

The Hidden Risks in Your Supply Chain: How Regulatory Support Can Save Your CGT Program
The temperature-controlled supply chain has become so much more than a straightforward logistics function, especially for advanced therapies. It has quickly evolved into a critical extension of your manufacturing process, your clinical trials, and your path to commercialization. Every step, from sourcing raw materials to delivering the final drug product to patients, must operate within strict regulatory and quality parameters where even the smallest oversight can cascade into regulatory delays, product loss, or even compromised patient safety.

Protecting the Foundation of Biologics with Flexible, Scalable Cell Banking
For any biotherapeutic program, your cell bank is the foundation of your manufacturing process. Master cell banks (MCBs), working cell banks (WCBs), and research cell banks (RCBs), represent years of development work and intellectual property. They are irreplaceable assets, and the security of these assets is directly tied to the long-term success of your program.Categories
