SAN FRANCISCO and CHICAGO, Nov. 14, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- In the growing field of personalized cell and gene therapies, supporting systems and supply chains need to be taken as seriously as the science. Today, two leaders in cell and gene therapy supply chain solutions—Vineti, Inc and Quick Specialized Healthcare Logistics—have partnered to help biopharma innovators do just that by releasing a new tip sheet focused on industry-proven best practices.

Covering everything from cell and gene therapy’s (CGT) need for continuous collaboration to appropriate packaging and transportation routing strategies, Cell and Gene Therapies: Eight Tips to Strengthen Your Supply Chain from Vineti and Quick offers valuable advice from industry veterans who were among the first to provide operations, logistics, and supply chain support for personalized medicine therapies.
