TrakCel & Ori Biotech Sign Collaboration Agreement
TrakCel and Ori Biotech Ltd recently announced a non-exclusive strategic partnership to achieve supply chain orchestration within closed system manufacturing for the cell and gene therapy sector.
The Ori platform enables therapy developers and contract manufacturers to achieve automated CGT manufacturing in a closed platform. The collaboration will enable users of the Ori Biotech manufacturing platform to benefit from live supply chain visibility through TrakCel software and TrakCel customers to have greater visibility into the manufacturing process via data services within the Ori platform. Resulting from the agreement, TrakCel and Ori will develop suitable points of integration in order for a shared data platform to be available to partners.
“TrakCel has developed an extensive partnership network with contract manufacturers and companies across the cell and gene therapy sector. This enables therapeutic developers to be supported by more standardized and integrated solutions,” said Fiona Withey, Co-Founder and CEO, TrakCel. “Closed system manufacturing is becoming progressively more important for the ongoing future of the cell and gene therapy sector, and we look forward to working with Ori to offer more integrated solutions to the wider industry.”
