The industry's steep rise has resulted in a high demand for skilled staff required to manufacture gene therapy products of the expected high quality. To address this skill shortage, more opportunities for education and training in all aspects of gene therapy manufacturing are needed. The Biomanufacturing Training and Education Center (BTEC) at the North Carolina State University (NC State) has developed and delivered (and continues to deliver) a four-day, hands-on course titled Hands-On cGMP Biomanufacturing of Vectors for Gene Therapy. The course, which consists of 60% hands-on laboratory activities and 40% lectures, aims to provide a comprehensive understanding of the gene therapy production process, from vial thaw through the final formulation step, and analytical testing. This paper discusses the design of the course, the backgrounds of the nearly 80 students who have participated in the seven offerings held since March 2019, and feedback from the course participants.}, number={7-8}, journal={HUMAN GENE THERAPY}, publisher={Mary Ann Liebert Inc}, author={Overton, Laurie and Boi, Cristiana and Shastry, Shriarjun and Smith-Moore, Caroline and Balchunas, John and Sambandan, Deepa and Gilleskie, Gary}, year={2023}, month={Apr}, pages={259–272} } @article{wang_cho_campbell_panduri_coviello_caballero_sambandan_kleeberger_polack_ofman_et al._2022, title={Epigenome-wide association study of bronchopulmonary dysplasia in preterm infants: results from the discovery-BPD program}, volume={14}, ISSN={["1868-7083"]}, DOI={10.1186/s13148-022-01272-0}, abstractNote={Abstract}, number={1}, journal={CLINICAL EPIGENETICS}, author={Wang, Xuting and Cho, Hye-Youn and Campbell, Michelle R. and Panduri, Vijayalakshmi and Coviello, Silvina and Caballero, Mauricio T. and Sambandan, Deepa and Kleeberger, Steven R. and Polack, Fernando P. and Ofman, Gaston and et al.}, year={2022}, month={Dec} }
