Manufacturing of NK cells for the clinic: the Spanish experience

In this webinar Dr. Antonio Perez-Martinez will discuss a standardized method to manufacture a high number of clinical-grade NK cells, ideal for infusing into patients. The talk will further expand on the optimization of protocols and a glimpse into the clinical data results of infused NK cells.

  • How to design your cell manufacturing 
  • How to ensure compliance and quality in your cell product 
  • The impact of the starting material on the final product
