Participants will review the state of current gene therapy approaches, identify challenges and strategies to overcome them and discuss how to collaboratively scale and accelerate gene therapy development. Proposed panel sessions will cover pre-clinical development, clinical innovation, manufacturing, partnerships and transitions, business models and patient access and gene therapy as a precision medicine tool.
