Our Director of GMP Projects, Pennie Soutar, was delighted to represent CCTech and Ortner in sunny Dublin at the iconic Trinity College, joining an exceptional panel of female experts shaping the future of ATMP delivery across the UK and Ireland.
The UKCRF Network session, entitled "ATMPs Across Organisations: Adopting a Collaborative Approach to Expand ATMP Trial Delivery", brought together leaders committed to advancing safe, compliant and scalable ATMP trials.
The speakers were:
- Fiona Thistlethwaite (NIHR Manchester CRF)

- Miryam Healy (Wellcome‑HRB CRF, St James’s Hospital)
- Pennie Soutar (GMP Projects, CCTech)

And the key learning outcomes included:

- Latest developments across ATMP networks
Reflecting on the event, Pennie commented: "As CCTech’s Director of GMP Projects, I was pleased to share insights on getting equipment selection right first time by emphasising how clearly-defined URBs and URSs underpin compliant facility design, operational readiness and safe ATMP delivery. It was a fantastic day of collaboration, expertise and momentum for the advanced therapies community”.
