Building a Life Sciences Pipeline: Cell and Gene Therapy Momentum

Ideas become cures when academia and industry connect. When you talk to Terry Fry, M.D., about why the Gates Institute is one of the best locations in the country to work in cellular and gene therapy, he has a lot of insight. As the executive director of the Gates Institute, a pediatric oncologist, and a pioneer in the development of chimeric antigen receptor (CAR)-T cell therapies, Dr. Fry has an intimate understanding of what it takes to get a drug from initial research phases to commercial manufacturing. And often what it takes is the right facilities with the right partners working together at each stage of development.
