Workforce Development and Training for Cell Therapy Teams

Training Built Inside a Cell Therapy CDMO

The distance between classroom instruction and GMP floor readiness closes fastest when the training happens where the work happens. Your team trains on-site in Made Scientific Foundry™ programs, taught by scientists and operators who manufacture cell therapies for clients.

 

Your people handle the same equipment, follow the same documentation practices, and work under the same quality systems that run client programs every day.

How Made Scientific Foundry™ Trains

You get expert-led instruction paired with immersive modules, conducted by working scientists alongside Subject Matter Experts (SMEs). It’s a practical, adaptable model designed to prepare your team for success. 

  • Customization: Curriculum is scoped to your processes, platforms, and product type, and built fresh for your engagement.
  • Integrated Learning: Theory and hands-on practice run together in each module, so your operators apply what they learn on the bench the same day.
  • Progressive Development: Modules stack from contamination control and aseptic technique through unit operations, giving your team a defined path from entry to independent execution.
  • Compliance Focus: Content is aligned to FDA and EU regulatory expectations, and training records are structured to fit your quality system.

Core: Custom Cohort Training on Your Processes

Core is an in-person lab immersion for organizations training a group. Whether you are standing up a new manufacturing team, transferring a process to new operators, or building a cell therapy program from the ground up, your cohort trains in a Made Scientific facility on a curriculum scoped to your own workflows and technologies.

Every program is defined with you. Cohort size, module selection, duration, and location are agreed together before the program is scheduled.

Who it fits

  • Organizations training a group of operators, scientists, or technicians together
  • Teams preparing to run a specific process, platform, or facility
  • Institutions building a cell therapy manufacturing capability from a standing start

Foundation modules

Your program is assembled from the following modules, taught on CDMO equipment in a real GMP environment.

  • Cell Therapy Fundamentals
  • Cleanroom Basics and Gowning
  • Aseptic Technique and Best Practices
  • GMP Bootcamp
  • Cell Selection
  • Cell Washing and Expansion
  • Cell Process Fill and Finish

Specialist add-on modules

  • Deep-dive topics can be added to your Core program and delivered live-virtual or on demand around your in-person schedule
  • Flow cytometry
  • Next-generation sequencing
  • Operational orchestration
  • AI and data science

Delivery

  • Location: a Made Scientific facility, your site, or a combination
  • Format: in-class instruction, hands-on lab workshops, live-virtual sessions, or a hybrid schedule
  • Group: intensive small-group cohorts, full team programs, or one-on-one mentoring

Scholar: University Partnerships That Build the Pipeline

Scholar is a university partnership program that puts credit-bearing cell and gene therapy coursework in front of students in industry-modeled learning spaces. Your university gains a workforce development outcome it can point to, and your students graduate having worked in the kind of environment they are heading into.

What sets Scholar apart

  • Coursework integrated with the processes of an operating CDMO
  • Simulated GMP environments modeled on industry facilities
  • Exposure to bioprocessing platforms and technology partnerships students would otherwise meet on their first job
  • Curriculum built around real cell and gene therapy manufacturing problems

For universities

  • Turnkey or custom course modules
  • Flexible credit structures, semester-based or modular
  • Facility access and instructor support
  • A documented workforce development outcome for the program

For students

  • Hands-on GMP training with industry equipment
  • Platform and technology exposure
  • Connections into cell therapy career pathways
  • Formats that fit undergraduate, graduate, and continuing education schedules
