Join Dr. John Powderly II MD at the Advanced Therapies Think Tank - AT3 session hosted on June 4th as he discusses whether different novel business models could help expand access to C>s globally.

As more advanced therapies move closer to broader clinical adoption, it’s becoming increasingly important to think beyond the therapy itself and consider point of care manufacturing to deliver therapies effectively.

That includes questions around:
🏥 treatment infrastructure
⚙️ operational scalability
🌍 regional access
💰 and long-term sustainability

Innovative science alone is not enough if patients cannot realistically access these therapies at scale.

Looking forward to discussing this alongside:
👤 Host: Lee Buckler
👥 Guests: Boro Dropulić, Catriona Crombie

Carolina BioOncology Institute and BioCytics enjoyed attending the Spring Social hosted by the Medical Professionals Charlotte.

This event provided a great opportunity to connect with physicians and healthcare professionals across the Charlotte community, and share our insights on oncology research, and strengthen relationships focused on improving patient care.

We value opportunities like this to collaborate, exchange ideas, and continue building partnerships. Thank you to the organizers for bringing together such a strong group of medical professionals.

Last week at the North Carolina Biotechnology Center (NCBiotech ), Dr. John Powderly II MD served as a keynote speaker at the "Hope is Not a Workflow" symposium which focused on advancing manufacturing for cell and gene therapy. 🧪

The initiative brings together developers, manufacturers, clinicians, patients, and regulators with a shared goal: to accelerate the delivery of safe, scalable, and accessible therapies.

Since our founding in 2005, Carolina BioOncology Institute (CBOI) and BioCytics has focused on advancing personalized immune cell approaches at the point of care, with a focus on research and pre-clinical development of new delivery models.

In 2026, hope alone is not enough for patients with metastatic cancer. Progress requires tangible change across the biopharma ecosystem, including new clinical delivery systems, innovative business models, and regulatory pathways that support point-of-care manufacturing.

A key part of this vision is a broader shift from cells as a drug product to cells as a patient-centered medical service, enabling more accessible and iterative innovation. We are proud to contribute to this ongoing conversation as the future of cell and gene therapy continues to evolve.
