The iPSC Quality Assessment Round Data Manuscript has been sent to all Authors for final review. Please check your inboxes. We shall submit the manuscript after responding to final questions and comments.

The iPSC Quality Assessment Round Manuscript is to be circulated to all authors tomorrow for final review & edit before submission. Authors will have two weeks to review. Well done to all Organizers and Participants for getting this far, especially with all the COVID disruption.

Did you know? GAiT's Industry Liaison Committee is co-chaired by @CiRA_F_J pediatric oncologist Dr. Noriko Shimasaki and @CCRM_ca President/CEO and GAiT Director Dr @MichaelMay5. The Committee focuses on accelerating iPSC therapies to the clinic.

GAiT members are hoping to see each other in person at Phacilitate Advanced Therapies Week in Miami. Register at https://www.advancedtherapiesweek.com/welcome

How registries and manufacturers/developers can work together effectively to accelerate cell therapies was discussed at the WMDA CGT webinar this morning. Material procurement is currently a key issue for manufacturers and this includes suitable donor material.

The 2nd GAiT Industrial Liaison Committee meeting will take place on Friday 17th September 2021

The CiRA Foundation @CiRA_F_J and
@CCRM_ca will co-chair GAiT's Industry Liaison Committee. This Committee will focus on clarifying the translation roadmap for iPSC therapeutics and how to improve efficiencies.

A poll has been sent to Industry Members' emails to schedule the first Industry Liaison Committee Meeting in the coming weeks.

We shall be updating Participants of the iPSC Quality Assessment Round on the manuscript shortly. A professional statistician re-analysed the amalgamated dataset to fortify the paper.

GAiT is also planning its first Industry Liaisons committee meeting. Internal discussions with GAiT Director / CCRM President & CEO Michael May, to discuss schedule, materials, and format, will take place this week. GAiT will then reach out to Industry members directly.
