Watch “The Science Behind Gene Therapy,” from ASGCT and NORD

The second in a series of five educational webinars from ASGCT and the National Organization for Rare Disorders (NORD), is now available to watch for free.

This session, held on Sept. 25, explored how gene therapies are developed, the ways in which evidence-based science guides manufacturers of gene therapies, how vectors deliver gene therapies to cells, and what happens inside the body after gene therapy is delivered. Speakers include Sven Kili, M.D., a member of the ASGCT Outreach and Communications Committee and a strategic consultant for regenerative medicine companies, and Tiffany Lucas, Ph.D., an FDA product reviewer in the division of gene therapy in the Center for Biologics Evaluation and Research (CBER).
