Join us in Rome for the 31st ESGCT congress, which will take place from October 22nd to October 25th. ESGCT’s Annual Congress brings together scientists working in cell and gene therapy throughout Europe and beyond.

Translating cell and gene therapies from early stages to the clinic has become increasingly complex for biotech and pharma companies. There is a need to access expertise, data, and scientific insights to bring the right patient to the right treatment at the right time.

Engage with our team of experts who will provide customized solutions to challenges like:

  • How to deal with highly complex trials;
  • Flexibility in developing and validating customized assays;
  • Multifaceted logistics management specialized for cell & gene therapies;
  • Evolving regulatory guidance and standards;
