Meet Marguerite Dazilme! Margie has been with WuXi Advanced Therapies’ Testing organization for 23 years and has been our Mycoplasma Lab Manager for more than four years. She has her degree from Temple University and draws her motivation and inspiration from the fact that WuXi Advanced Therapies has the honor and privelege of working on advanced therapies and testing biologics that provide treatment, and sometimes even a cure, for diseases and patients with unmet needs.

About us
WuXi Advanced Therapies - Accelerating Progress and Time to Market WuXi Advanced Therapies is a cell and gene therapy Contract Testing, Development and Manufacturing Organization (CTDMO) that is reducing the complexities of manufacturing by providing integrated platforms that enable cell and gene therapies to be developed, manufactured, and released faster and with greater predictability. Our Story By leveraging platforms and integrated testing our team provides expedited development and commercialization of cell, gene, protein and viral-based therapies. This approach enables new biopharmaceuticals to be developed, manufactured and released faster and with greater predictability, thereby reducing the complexities of high-touch, multi-vendor production models. Our solutions help clients overcome challenges to commercialization, including process development, manufacturing capacity, analytical development, and raw materials management. Multiple, scale-able, enabling platforms integrate manufacturing, process development and testing capabilities to provide greater predictability and speed to clinic. We support advanced therapy programs with extensive infrastructure and 400,000+ square feet of state-of-the-art, GMP-compliant facilities on our modern campus located at the Navy Yard in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.

One of the questions our analytical team gets frequently is “If we ‘re transferring an assay to you, what is the typical timeline?” Click here https://lnkd.in/eBQmYuve to see how Melissa McDonnell, Testing Product Director, answered it on our most recent webinar entitled Mastering the Journey from Initial Method Transfer to Successful Lot Release for Cell & Gene Therapies. You can also register to watch the entire webinar on demand here https://lnkd.in/e2Pnf8si

One of the questions we are asked about assay transfer is if the quality control analysts should be involved in early assay development or if it is better to engage them when the assay is more mature and ready for transfer? Listen to how Heather Malicki, Ph.D. responded to this question on our June 6th webinar titled Mastering the Journey from Initial Method Transfer to Successful Lot Release for Cell & Gene Therapies. https://lnkd.in/exTtekXm

Therapy developers who have a product that requires a large amount of #LVV or those screening multiple GOIs can benefit from WuXi Advanced Therapies’ XOFLX™ packaging and producer cell lines. The XOFLX™ stable technology has been shown to work well across a wide array of transgenes and the integrated LVV genes have reduced homology for improved safety. #XOFLX™ packaging and producer cell lines stably express genes needed for LVV production, eliminating the need and expense of multiple plasmids. Read more online at https://lnkd.in/eHBXc-dy or contact us if you are interested in evaluating the application of custom XOFLX™ packaging or producer cell lines. After initial evaluation, you can continue to conduct in-house R&D under a Research Use Only (RUO) license or transition to in-house GMP manufacturing under a Clinical and Commercial Use License or with the help of WuXi Advanced Therapies development and manufacturing services in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
