Exclusive PANEL DISCUSSION: Genetic Conversations: Shaping the Future of CGT Together

The landscape of cell and gene therapies today is marked by rapid advancements and significant clinical progress. Several cell and gene therapies have received FDA approvals, reflecting growing confidence in their safety and efficacy. However, developers still face challenges related to manufacturing scalability, safety, long-term efficacy, and access affordability. As these novel therapeutics grow more complex, it is imperative to optimize drug development processes and workflows to accelerate time to market. Decision-makers must be aware of the solutions available to support their development pipelines.

Our 3rd annual event built on “Partnering together”, will discuss:

  • The current landscape of cell and gene therapies, including accomplishments and challenges
  • Building trust and confidence in data through strategic partnerships during uncertain times
  • Strategies to maintain progress in cell and gene therapy development
  • Current needs of therapy developers that will shape future outcomes
  • Future directions for the field
