ASGCT and NORD

We've partnered with the National Organization for Rare Disorders to create a series of digital events designed to educate both patient and clinical audiences about the potential of gene therapy.

ASGCT's First-Ever CME Program

The Time Is Now: Understanding Gene Therapy, Applications, and Implications is a two-part CME series in partnership with NORD designed to explain the potential of gene‐based treatment approaches to change the disease course for patients with genetic conditions, discuss different types of current and emerging gene‐based therapies, and more!
