Gene and Cell Therapy Manufacturing Specialization (UC Davis)
Completed a gene and cell therapy manufacturing specialization emphasizing hands-on techniques used to generate therapeutic cell products. Learned workflows for gene vector production and CAR-T cell therapy preparation, including analytical techniques used to monitor production quality. Practiced operational steps such as using instruments for cell expansion and harvesting and performing cell counting under a microscope. • Studied cell biology and how gene/cell therapies are manufactured in research settings. • Gained hands-on experience with gene vector production and CAR-T therapy workflows. • Used Sepax and Xuri systems for cell expansion and harvesting and for isolations. • Performed cell counting under a microscope as part of manufacturing assessment.
