CDCM 7th Annual Symposium

Registration is now open!

Join us for the CDCM's 7th annual symposium and learn about new cell, gene, and regenerative medicine discoveries, pre-clinical development and clinical trials of curative medicines, and challenges with bringing these cures to patients to meet unmet medical needs. Exploration and discussion of these topics will be held at this one-day conference for clinicians, basic scientists, patient advocates, translational investigators, and biotech and pharmaceutical experts. More than 700 people are expected to attend, including a growing number of international participants from Europe, Asia Pacific, and the Middle East. This year, we are offering virtual participation as well as a return to in-person attendance!

The symposium is now over. Thank you all to those who attended!

Each year, the CDCM hosts an annual symposium to engage in scientific discussion about new discoveries and developments in the cell and gene therapy field. The 7th annual symposium will host speakers to present on topics related to the field, including new cell, gene, and regenerative medicine discoveries; pre-clinical development and clinical trials of curative medicines; and challenges with bringing these cures to patients with unmet medical needs.

Hans Clevers, PhD will be the keynote speaker and present on his work in organoids and pre-clinical models to accelerate IND enabling studies. In addition, we will be hosting the director of the Center for Biologics Evaluation and Research (CBER) at the FDA, Peter Marks, MD, PhD

Additionally, this year's symposium seeks to highlight 2 products that were developed by the CDCM and tell the story from the bench to bedside. Alongside this year's host of renowned speakers, the stories of the gene-corrected sickle cell and epidermolysis bullosa tissue correction products will be extensively discussed.
