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.

Annual Meeting

The Annual Meeting provides an international forum where the latest gene and cell therapy developments are presented and critically discussed. ASGCT's annual meeting brings together more than 3,400 professionals including scientists, physicians, and patient advocates.

Policy Summit

ASGCT's Policy Summit focuses on key policy challenges and opportunities in the development of, access to, and responsible use of gene and cell therapies, including manufacturing, clinical trial design, evidence generation, and payment policy. Diverse new topics in 2020 will include market access in the EU, newborn screening policies, and non-therapeutic uses of gene editing.
