Treatment of disease using cell and gene therapy is now a reality. With emerging technologies and new clinical trials being developed and launched at a growing rate, it is important to stay up-to-date with the evolving regulatory challenges and pre-clinical requirements for drug development and discovery. GTC's Cell and Gene Therapy Conference brings together experts from industry and academia to discuss the development and applications of cell and gene therapy as well as strategies and challenges for commercialization.
This conference is also part of the Future Biotech Summit 2014, which consists of this conference, and two other additional co-located conferences:
