Project purpose
Cell and gene therapies arouse and are slowly growing and these types of therapies require specialized logistics such as real-time monitoring of temperature, storage, security, etc. The logistic sector needs to adapt and communicate with the developers and manufacturers to understand each other’s language and define together the best and most efficient transport solutions.
Project objective(s)
The main objective of this project is to broaden the current knowledge of air transportation of BioPharma and CGT (Cellular Therapy and Gene Therapy) products.
