In preparation for our Cell and Gene Therapy conference, we are offering a “Cell and Gene Therapy 101” webinar for early career professionals, designed to help you quickly get to grips with the key concepts, technologies, and development pathways in this rapidly evolving field.

This webinar is designed for early career professionals who want a clear, practical overview of how these transformative therapies are created and developed for patients. The webinar will cover the foundational concepts behind cell and gene therapies, including how they differ from conventional medicines and where they are already changing standards of care.

We will take you on the stepwise journey from a scientific idea to a clinical‑ready therapy covering core challenges in making these treatments safe, effective, and scalable, such as managing off‑target effects, ensuring durable responses, and navigating evolving regulatory expectations.

You will also hear insights from our host Verena, whose experience in genome editing and next‑generation gene‑silencing platforms spans both discovery research and emerging therapeutic programmes, offering a candid view of what it takes to advance these technologies from bench to bedside.
