Using blood and blood-based products as a case study, this project will investigate and seek to manage biological input variation from a processing perspective by relating this to clinical outcome (i.e. patient benefit) and exploring the concerns due to input variation when manufacturing a biological therapeutic at multiple sites. • Hematopoietic stem cell transplants are used to treat blood-based cancer and immunological deficiency • Over 130,000 transplants were carried out in Europe between 1990 and 2000[1] • The living cell is the product, introducing more complexity and sensitivity than found in pharmaceuticals • Humans are the source of the raw material, and we are inherently variable • Variation affects the cost, the safety of the therapeutic and the efficacy of the treatment
