Advancing Clinical Research of Gene Therapies in Brazil

Held December 2, 2020, 2-6 p.m. BRT

This event is in partnership between ASGCT and the Brazilian Association of Cellular and Gene Therapy. The goal of this program is for speakers with experience in clinical development to share their experiences and insights on factors to consider to successfully initiate clinical trials of in vivo and ex vivo gene therapies in Brazil. Stimulating such additional clinical research is an important step in expanding availability and access to these therapies for patients in need in the area.
