Show by Out of the Lab Media Group
Why do brilliant R&D processes stall or fail when transferred into a GMP cleanroom?In this episode of Out of the Lab, host Nicholas Crudele sits down with Jerry from CellBri to unpack the unspoken assumptions, technical miscommunications, and equipment hurdles that delay cell therapy manufacturing. From the reality of using ice buckets instead of precise 4°C incubation to reducing batch COGS from $150,000 down to under $20,000 using flexible automation, Jerry breaks down how effective communication through documentation and smart software UX de-risk cell therapy scale-up.Key Topics Covered:The R&D vs. Cleanroom Disconnect: Why gowning, double-gloving, and workflow timing ruin unexamined bench protocols during tech transfer.The "Oral Tradition" Trap: How minor miscommunications (0°C vs. 4°C) can cause month-long troubleshooting investigations.Slashing COGS with Flexible Automation: How modern automated systems dramatically cut labor costs and production days.UX in the Cleanroom: Replacing ambiguous error codes with on-screen video guidance to prevent catastrophic batch losses.
