The possibility of applying genome editing methods to treat intractable human disease has attracted an enormous amount of scientific, clinical and commercial interest. Translating this potential into reality will require collaboration between those developing and optimizing genome editing techniques, and those working on cell therapy, gene therapy and drug delivery. With the aim of nurturing this collaboration, this meeting will include speakers from each of these distinct scientific communities. Through talks, a poster session and a panel discussion, the meeting will help identify the scientific, clinical and regulatory hurdles that remain to be overcome. The exchange of ideas and expertise will also help guide the path forward.
PROGRAM
The program will begin at 8:55 a.m. November 3 and will close on November 4 around 6:00 p.m. The detailed program can be found on our website and in the download area.
SESSION TOPICS
- Genome editing
- Cell therapy (relevant to ex vivo applications)
- Delivery in general
- Gene therapy (relevant to in vivo editing)
- Biomedical applications
