De-risking AAV development: from upstream optimization to regulatory-ready testing

Live30 webinars pack the latest innovations and applications into a data-rich 30-minute session.

Decisions made before analytical testing begins increasingly determine whether AAV and lentiviral vector (LVV) programs meet regulatory expectations for quality, consistency, and potency.

This session shows how upstream process optimization, raw material selection, and a well-planned analytical strategy work together to improve vector quality, reduce CMC risk, and shorten development timelines. Attendees will gain practical guidance on building scientifically justified testing strategies for cases where regulators do not prescribe fixed limits.

Attend this webinar to learn about:

  • How Design-of-Experiments-driven upstream optimization influences vector yield and packaging efficiency and drives downstream product quality
  • How critical raw materials quality (plasmid and transfection reagent) influence manufacturing consistency and batch-to-batch reproducibility across AAC and LVV
  • How to build a regulatory-ready AAV/LLV analytical testing strategy based on better understanding of what regulators expect and what is left open to scientific justification when specifications are not explicitly defined
