Stuart Curbishley on how adthera bio is tackling the biggest bottleneck in cell and gene therapy: getting therapies manufactured at scale.

Cell and gene therapies can cost over $4 million per dose.

Yet many programmes stall before reaching patients, with manufacturing complexity a leading cause.

The global cell and gene therapy CDMO market is on track to roughly triple by 2031, making the right manufacturing partner increasingly the difference between approval and a therapy that never reaches patients.

adthera bio, the UK-based digital-first CDMO that broke cover in May 2023 with backing from Delin Ventures, is taking aim at that bottleneck.

The team brings over 100 years of combined ATMP experience from GSK, Novartis, Sanofi and Miltenyi Biotec.

Their facilities span purpose-built process development and analytical labs alongside a separate GMP production unit across Birmingham and London.

At Advanced Therapies 2026, Onyx sat down with Chief Development & Manufacturing Officer, Stuart Curbishley, to find out more.
