Lane Jaeckle Santos, PhD, RAC

Head of Regulatory Services

Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, United States

About

I’m a RAC-certified Regulatory Affairs CMC professional with nearly a decade of Pharma experience and 9 years working specifically in Cell & Gene Therapy (ATMPs). In 2024, I successfully defended the first marketing application for Adaptimmune’s TECELRA, targeting solid tumors (Synovial Sarcoma), after 4 years of late-phase CMC planning, project management, and plan execution. I’m passionate about Cell & Gene Therapy and CMC development, and I am not afraid of a challenge or hard work. My colleagues know me as a collaborative, resilient, and results-driven team player. If I sound like someone you might want on your team, please reach out. I'm a dual citizen of the United States and Spain and am authorized to work in the United States and EU.
