The fishing village of Tutzing, beautifully located on the bank of Lake
Starnberg in Southern Germany, was first mentioned in a chronicle of the monastery of Benediktbeuren in the 11th century. In those
days, the castle comprised a farm, a mill and six half farms. Over the
centuries, owners, purposes of use, and the building itself changed
several times.
Since 1947 the traditional castle of Tutzing has served as a conference location to the Evangelische Akademie Tutzing – an inspiring
meeting place.

keynote speakers / committee / dates
In this century, development of Advanced Therapy Medicinal Products
(ATMP), including gene therapeutics and human cell therapeutics, has
been envisioned as ‘the’ beneficial breakthrough of molecular cell biology, capable of significantly advancing human health in the near
future. Under biomedical and social scrutiny, this innovative medical
approach certainly has evolved into a highly hoped-for revolutionary
cure of a broad spectrum of inherited and acquired human diseases,
ranging from cancer to heart disease and immunological disorders.
topics
keynote speakers The ATMP 2015 conference will highlight advances in production and
analytics of therapeutic cells, plasmids and vectors.

The challenges and issues of manufacturing and analytics of human
cell therapeutics are very different from all existing therapeutics, including biopharmaceuticals, and a key factor of their success is the
management of multiple challenges addressing safety, purity and potency of these highly-engineered cell products. Robust and reliable
manufacturing processes of target cells, manipulated ex vivo prior to
administration to the patient, present the most challenging issue. Efficient gene transfer vectors, delivering the therapeutic gene into a
broad spectrum of cells without causing any associated pathogenic
effect, need to be developed for these purposes. Depending on the
complexity and individuality of this product class, cell therapy manufacturing processes may comprise consistent procedures of culture,
expansion, genetic manipulation, stimulation, and in case of treatments of multiple patients, cell banking. Therefore, cell therapy analytics needs to be adapted to this broad range of complex manufacturing processes ensuring adequate safety, purity and potency of the
final products.
This conference will highlight the new challenging field of cell and
gene therapeutic approaches, which are based on cells, plasmids and
vectors. Advances in cultivation and manufacturing and control methods will be presented.
The Scientific Committee cordially invites you to this event and looks
forward to lively interactions and discussions on the newest topics of
the field.
We look forward to meeting you in Tutzing!
