AI-Driven Small Molecules to Enhance Cell Therapy Potency and Persistence

Start-up Pitch (Track 5, Seminar Theatre)

T cell therapies are only as good as the cells that reach the patient, yet ex vivo manufacturing itself drives exhaustion and erodes the stem-like memory phenotypes that underpin durable response. We have built an AI-driven discovery platform that predicts novel intracellular targets and designs small molecules to address this at its source. Added during ex vivo expansion and washed out before infusion, these compounds act as manufacturing reagents rather than systemic drugs, allowing integration under a sponsor's existing IND without a standalone regulatory filing. In primary human T cells, our lead compound drives a roughly 16-fold increase in polyfunctionality, a twofold enrichment of stem-like memory cells, elevated TCF-1, and reduced exhaustion. Because the approach is target-driven and platform-based, it is modality-agnostic across CAR-T and next-generation cell therapies.

Reimagining Gene-Modified T Cell Manufacturing: New Data on Integrating Isolation, Activation, Transduction, and Expansion in a Single Quantum Flex™ Workflow

Cell Therapy Manufacturing Sponsored by Terumo Blood and Cell Technologies (Track 2)

Summary:

Discover new data demonstrating a streamlined approach to gene-modified T cell manufacturing that integrates multiple critical unit operations into a single, closed workflow. This webinar will present the first demonstration of incorporating T cell isolation upstream of Quantum Flex™ processing, extending automation and process integration from cell selection through expansion.

Starting with Leukopak material collected on the Spectra Optia®, CD3+ T cells were isolated using a buoyancy-based microbubble separation method. Fewer than 10 million isolated and activated T cells were then directly introduced into the Quantum Flex system, where they underwent lentiviral transduction and expansion to a therapeutically relevant dose.

Key Takeaways:

  • First demonstration of an integrated workflowcombining T cell isolation with Quantum Flex™ processing.
  • End-to-end automationspanning cell isolation, activation, transduction, and expansion.
  • Closed-system manufacturing approachdesigned to reduce open handling steps and operator intervention.
  • Reduced hands-on processing timeand a shorter path from starting material to target cell dose.
  • Robust expansion from a small starting cell numberwhile maintaining critical quality attributes.
  • Comparison with traditional static culture methods, highlighting potential process efficiencies.
  • Enhanced process consistency and scalabilitythrough integration of buoyant microbubble-based cell isolation with the Quantum Flex platform.
  • Potential to simplify manufacturing operationsand support next-generation gene-modified T cell therapy production.

Join us to explore how an integrated, closed-system workflow could help advance cell therapy manufacturing through greater efficiency, flexibility, and process consistency.
