Strategic Plan

Driving universal access to cell and gene therapies.

ASGCT’s strategic plan centers on driving universal access to cell and gene therapies and builds upon the existing plan, drawing inspiration from its structure and reliance on strategic priorities. The Society also identified three inter-dimensional foci that influence all of our strategic priorities and related programs: clinical implementation, discovery, and safety and efficacy.

Communicate

Inform professionals, patient communities, and the public of scientific discoveries and medical advances in cell and gene therapy.

ASGCT will be the most trusted source of information on the science, technology, and clinical delivery of CGT.  The Society will proactively publicize and promote the field, delivering meaningful content, engaging broader audiences, confronting challenges, and facilitating public discourse.

Educate

Teach researchers, patients/caregivers, and other stakeholders in an effort to advance the science and application of cell and gene therapy, empowering members and non-members alike. 

ASGCT will be the premier provider of education to scientists, physicians, patients/caregivers, and other professionals with a focus on proliferating scientific findings, accelerating clinical adoption of CGTs, and identifying and addressing barriers to widespread accessibility.  The Society will deliver educational content to diverse audiences including aspiring health professionals and community leaders utilizing a variety of platforms and tailored content to each audience, with intentionality and commitment to rigor and educational excellence.

Advocate

Represent the entire field of cell and gene therapy, expanding access for patients to therapies that are safe and effective.

ASGCT will serve as the collective voice of its members and the CGT field with lawmakers, policymakers, and others, promoting its interests and policy positions.  The Society will advocate to maximize access, ensure safety, and foster a regulatory environment that supports clinical translation of CGT.

Innovate

Drive scientific, translational, and medical advances in cell and gene therapy, inspiring, enabling, and supporting new ideas.

ASGCT will empower researchers and advance research programs leading to the discovery and improvement of clinical applications for CGTs.  The Society will also leverage its own resources and collaborate with a broad group of stakeholders to both set the direction for innovative research and award individual projects and researchers in line with those directives.
