Thanks to these &#8220;living drugs&#8221;, many patients suffering from incurable diseases can now have access to a treatment. However, the production of TCGs is very expensive and complex, which limits the number of doses available and makes them inaccessible to many patients. Lausanne-based start-up <a href=\"https:\/\/limula.ch\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Limula<\/a> is revolutionizing this field by introducing automation into TCG production.<\/p>\n<p>The Vaud-based start-up is currently focusing on CAR-T cell therapy, which genetically modifies a patient&#8217;s immune cells to fight cancer. Dr. Yann Pierson, Limula&#8217;s CTO, has developed an automated platform for treating immune cells that requires no manual intervention. The platform consists of a small bioreactor integrated into an operating device, which can perform all steps of cell therapy production autonomously and sterilely.<\/p>\n<p>Luc Henry, CEO of Limula, stated: &#8220;We want to offer a platform technology that supports a smooth transition from small-scale preclinical testing to large-scale manufacturing once approval is received. This will allow healthcare providers to safely produce more TCG treatment doses per square meter of clean room &#8211; and perhaps one day access decentralized production directly in hospitals.&#8221;<\/p>\n<h4>A support from CSEM for the prototyping and the pre-industrialization phase<\/h4>\n<p>Limula received support from the Tools for Life Science department of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.csem.ch\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">CSEM<\/a> in Neuch\u00e2tel to develop their bioreactor and produce it on a large scale. This collaboration allowed the development of a pre-industrial solution that is now used to test the production of cell therapies.<\/p>\n<p>The market for TCG production is growing rapidly, with more than 3 million patients potentially benefiting in the coming years. The automation of Limula&#8217;s production offers great prospects for improving the accessibility and availability of personalized therapies for patients who need them.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>To improve the accessibility of cellular therapies using automation, Limula has received support from the CSEM from the prototyping phase to the pre-industrialization of its technology.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":15793,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"inline_featured_image":false,"mc4wp_mailchimp_campaign":[],"footnotes":""},"categories":[833],"tags":[912,926,911],"class_list":["post-15792","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-life-science","tag-biotech","tag-medtech","tag-pharma"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.2 -
