Critical Path Institute® today announced the launch of One to Millions, a global, multi-stakeholder public-private initiative to enable scalable development of advanced therapies for highly individualized conditions.

However, existing regulatory and reimbursement frameworks, built for population-based medicines and linear development models, are not equipped to keep pace, creating a growing gap that delays patient access.
