Enhance Genetic Stability, Uncover Optimal Cell Line Starting Material & Improve Downstream Processing to Drive Investor Confidence & Accelerate Clinically Successful, Large-Scale iPSC-Derived Cell Therapies to Market

Welcome to the 5th iPSC Drug Development Summit

Driving Stability, Clinical Validity & Scalable Production of iPSC Therapies

The 5th Annual iPSC Drug Development Summit returns to Boston as your longest standing and most definitive platform for uniting iPSC-based drug developers across the value chain, from R&D right through to CMC, to accelerate the development of genetically stable, clinically efficacious and scalable iPSC cell therapies.

Tailor your learning across 2 tracks of content, with a Preclinical stream, and Process Development & CMC stream – dive into novel humanized mouse models to aid a greater translational leap into the clinic, or explore novel bioreactors for new methods of iPSC generation.

Join the trailblazers of the iPSC field, including Aspen Neuroscience, Sana Biotech, Novo Nordisk, and BlueRock Therapeutics, as they unveil practical strategies for engineering allo-evasive cell products, overcoming reprogramming and scalability challenges, and addressing regulatory complexities from R&D through to commercialization. Learn how leaders are optimizing iPSC line selection, advancing GMP-compliant manufacturing, and deploying novel genetic and encapsulation-based tools to stabilize differentiation outcomes and maximize clinical impact.

With therapeutic applications spanning oncology, neurology, immunology, and regenerative medicine, this summit equips you to navigate the most pressing hurdles in iPSC development—from managing donor variability and ensuring genomic stability, to aligning QC testing with GMP standards. Gain actionable insights on optimizing iPSC-derived T cell maturation, tackling immunogenicity, standardizing differentiation protocols, and validating final cell identities to streamline delivery, satisfy regulators, and accelerate your path to clinic.
