Coming to Raleigh
The G-Rex Grant Program is a transformational initiative that culminated in the awarding of >300 G-Rex Grants and >$40M in resources and has resulted in a powerful coalition of organizations and individuals working to bring hope to cancer and autoimmune patients through adoptive cell and gene therapy.
In 2026, ScaleReady will host a series of 12-events around the United States with the goals of:
- Rallying, fostering, and investing in the local cell & gene therapy community
- Promoting transparency and collaboration among like-minded individuals and organizations workings towards a common goal
- Catalyzing scienfitic and clinical progress through a shared sense of duty to the patients we all serve
- Spotlighting the breadth of diverse innovative cell and gene therapy approaches being powered by G-Rex.

In this role, she oversees the development, optimization, and scaleup of GMPcompliant manufacturing processes for both allogeneic and autologous cellbased therapies.Over the past ten years, her work has covered the process development from initial cell sourcing through final formulation and cryopreservation. She has helped build and implement closedsystem and automated workflows, including largescale bioreactor approaches, and has supported product characterization through ELISAs and the development of potency assays. Her team works across multiple cell types, including MSCs, TILs, CAR T cells, γδ T cells, macrophages, and NK cells, drawing on extensive experience with cordblood–derived cultures.Pamela has designed and authored IND amendment studies, authored GMP documentation such as SOPs and batch records, and led technical transfers to manufacturing and quality control groups.
