Cryoport to Host Workshop at 14th Annual World Advanced Therapies & Regenerative Medicine Congress on Wednesday, May 15th

IRVINE, Calif., May 9, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Cryoport, Inc. CYRX CYRXW ("Company"), the world's leading temperature-controlled logistics company dedicated to the life sciences industry, announced today its 2^nd annual workshop, titled, 'Process Considerations for Cryogenic and Regenerative Medicine Commercialization,' taking place on Wednesday, May 15, 2019 at the Business Design Centre in London, United Kingdom. The educational workshop is taking place in conjunction with the World Advanced Therapies & Regenerative Medicine Congress event and is aimed at biotechnology and pharmaceutical professionals who want to learn more about the critical considerations for the development and commercialization of vital regenerative medicine therapies.

The workshop will feature topics on:

• Integration and Data Continuity Throughout the Regenerative Medicine Production Process
• Systems Compliance and Traceability During Product Distribution
• Regenerative Medicine Globalization: Considerations for Effective Launch activity Beyond your Initial Geographic Launch
• Scalability (Systems, Data, Infrastructure)

The workshop will include speakers from groundbreaking companies in the regenerative medicine market, including Cryoport, GE Healthcare, Be The Match BioTherapies, Mesoblast, Eversana, Hitachi Chemical Advanced Therapeutic Solutions, Progenitor Therapeutics and Royal Free London NHS Foundation Trust.

Mark Sawicki, Chief Commercial Officer at Cryoport, commented, "The emergence of regenerative medicine is shaping up to be one of the greatest achievements of modern medicine. However, regenerative medicine commodities are inherently fragile and more at risk than other products during the supply chain process. Cross-contamination, orientation and handling problems, and equipment failure all have the potential to damage these irreplaceable materials. This workshop brings together dedicated individuals and companies that are at the forefront of the regenerative medicine industry and who are committed to overcoming these challenges in order to bring life changing therapies to patients. With new regulations anticipated to affect all aspects of the collection, manufacture, transportation, and administration of regenerative medicines, it is now more important than ever for biopharmaceutical companies to be aware of best practices when advancing their therapies through the clinical trial pipeline and into commercialization. This workshop will prove to be a great platform for learning and collaboration for those involved in regenerative medicine."
