It brings together scientists, researchers, and healthcare professionals to share knowledge, advance scientific understanding, and promote the safe development of these innovative treatments. Gene therapy involves altering genes to treat or prevent diseases, while cell therapy involves using cells to restore or replace damaged tissues. ASGCT also advocates for regulatory guidelines and educational initiatives to ensure these therapies are accessible and effective for patients in need.
