About the Summit
ASTCT introduces the Gene Therapy Summit, an interactive meeting of representatives from academic and clinical
centers, the biotechnology industry, ASTCT and additional collaborative professional societies focused on ex
vivo gene therapy using hematopoietic stem cells.
The overarching goal of the Summit is to explore how the strengths of ASTCT centers and members can be leveraged to
bring effective therapies safely and rapidly to patients while advancing the field of ex vivo gene therapy.
Summit sessions will bring together experts from multiple disciplines to educate, discuss and exchange best
practices, and to provide a platform for biotechnology industry representatives to interact with academic clinicians
and researchers.
The 1.5 day summit will be held November 5 – 6 at the Harvard Medical Conference Center
in Boston, Massachusetts. The event will kick off the evening of the 5th with a networking reception with
a presentation on cutting edge gene therapy science followed by the conference on November 6th.
