| Keywords: | Genetic testing/counselling - Genetic research/engineering - Gene therapy |
| Details: | The field of gene therapy continues to progress, with improvements in viral vector profiles, stem cell culturing techniques, and site-specific genome editing platforms. Here, human genome research has recently entered a crucial new phase. Editing of the genome is advancing much faster than considered possible even two years ago. Immunotherapies are being developed for a significant number of patients and diseases. We are quickly moving towards a time when gene therapy may be part of standard cellular therapy for cancer. The future of gene therapy is promising! At the XXII annual meeting of the German Society for Gene Therapy (DG-GT e.V.) in Heidelberg, translational gene therapy as applied to human disease will be our focus: - Trial logistics, preclinical animal model systems and validation studies as well as clinical trial reports which have significant impact for the field - basic science studies of mechanisms of gene transfer and control of expression - cell-based therapies including all aspects of stem cells and genetically modified cellular approaches - novel technological developments for gene transfer, control and silencing, including the CRISPR revolution There are going to be exciting discussions! See you in Heidelberg! |
