Instil Bio says that the challenge of manufacturing TIL therapy has limited its use. Where do you see a potential breakthrough in this area, considering that Instil will spend $150m to develop its proprietary process to cryopreserve surgically removed tissue at a regional hub close to a clinical site, shipping samples to one of two Instil manufacturing sites, in Manchester and Los Angeles.
