JERSEY CITY, N.J. - September 6th, 2023 - Apprentice.io, leading technology provider for life sciences manufactures, announced that Minaris Regenerative Medicine, a leading contract development and manufacturing organization (CDMO) focused on cell and gene therapies, has selected Apprentice’s Tempo Manufacturing Execution System (MES) to digitize its commercial manufacturing in North America and Japan. Minaris will use Tempo MES to increase speed-to-market, reduce costs, and deliver a superior customer experience. These improvements will accelerate complex commercial batches so patients in need of cutting-edge cell and gene therapies can receive reliable treatment faster.
“The potential of regenerative medicine is constrained by the pace, scale, and quality of commercial manufacturing,” said Prakash Manwani, Chief Digital Officer of Minaris. “With Apprentice’s Tempo MES, we replace manual, paper systems with a digital system purpose-built for the commercial production of cell therapies. We share Apprentice’s vision of a digitally connected manufacturing network that can unify and accelerate end-to-end production. Making that vision a reality at Minaris means miracle therapies can be more widely accessible to patients in need.”
In 2023, Minaris will begin deployment with a cell therapy drug product for a prevalent disease at their commercial site in Allendale, New Jersey before implementing at their remaining sites in North America and Japan in 2024. Apprentice’s streamlined approach to deployment and GxP validation paired with its no-code platform make it faster and easier to deploy compared to traditional MES projects.

“Our technology has the unique features needed to break down the barriers that have held back commercial scale cell and gene therapy manufacturing,” said Angelo Stracquatanio, CEO and Co-founder of Apprentice.io. “We are excited to partner with a pioneer like Minaris whose mission is to eliminate the roadblocks between patients and the life-altering therapies they need.”
