Charles River and Akron Bio collaborate to enhance cell therapy manufacturing
16 January 2025 -

Pharmaceutical research services provider Charles River Laboratories International Inc (NYSE:CRL) and Akron Bio, a supplier of critical materials and services for advanced therapies, on Thursday announced the integration of Akron's CGMP liquid cytokines into Charles River's Cell Therapy Flex Platform.

This collaboration aims to streamline cell therapy manufacturing operations by enabling closed system processing.

The integration will enhance process robustness and minimise risk by incorporating ready-to-use liquid cytokines into automated platforms.

These cytokines, including rHu IL-2, IL-7, IL-15 and IL-21, are crucial for optimising CAR-T and TCR-T cell therapies.
