Accelerating Europe's Progress in CNS Gene Therapy
Navigating Europe-Specific Challenges & European Regulators Requirements; Optimizing Preclinical Research in Neurological Models & Revolutionizing Gene Therapy Delivery to CNS Targets in the Clinic
With systemic toxicity challenges plaguing the AAV field, low-dose CNS indications are an ideal target for gene therapy. The plethora of neurological indications dominating gene therapy pipelines vary from rare neurological disorders to more common diseases including Parkinson’s, epilepsy and neurodevelopmental disorders.
As programs advance globally, the 3rd Annual Gene Therapy for Neurological Disorders Europe meeting is the field’s definitive forum to showcase the European landscape’s progress and specific regulatory challenges. Gene therapy developers from all of the world, including Europe’s brightest minds in CNS gene therapy, will unite in Paris to share their research progress and host an industry-dedicated discussion.
