Bioprocessing for Cell Based Therapies

The robust manufacture and supply of defined cells at commercially relevant scales is a clear requirement for the successful implementation of future cell-based therapy. With contributions from internationally leading academics and industry practitioners, Bioprocessing for Cell-Based Therapies examines both existing industrial methods for the large scale production of a variety of cell types - including stem cells - as well as recent novel developments in cell culture from the bioprocessing research community.

Covering fermenter designs, 2D and 3D systems, and carrier material, this book also examines the issues around the supply chain, including current best practice and novel means presently under development, along with in-depth discussions on methods used in the delivery of cells to the patient.

Well illustrated, and in full-colour throughout, Bioprocessing for Cell-Based Therapies is the only handbook available that outlines the complete range of cell-based therapies providing a state of the art guide to the field. This text will be invaluable to those working and researching in this area, as well as new postgraduate students.
