HKUST-NEU Webinar: Recent Advances in Global Cell Gene Therapy Development
The impact of cell gene therapy has grown significantly in recent years for many disease treatments and patient cares. It is important to understand its origin, current practices, and future growth globally; as the technology is being applied worldwide. Thus far, we have assembled a panel of international experts in this field, who can elaborate the beginning of this technology, current biomanufacturing practices, new commercial products, and the global regulatory guidance for this industry. We trust this international expert panel discussion will advance the technology development and its applications. The webinar will be the outcome of an international academic collaboration along with the participation of biopharmaceutical professional societies.
