About Event

The industry-leading forum focussed on ways to predict, monitor, and mitigate against adverse immune responses to AAV gene therapies.

Successful advancement of gene therapy through clinical trials hinges on the development of robust, clinically validated immunoassays and biodistribution studies. These assays, coupled with real-world data, are instrumental in mitigating efficacy and safety roadblocks that can impede progress and, more critically, jeopardize patient safety.

An in-depth understanding of the of the innate and adaptive immune response, predictable translational models and immunosuppression and modulation strategies to mitigate against adverse responses are vital in developing a safe and effective gene therapy product.

This is your opportunity to tackle gene therapy immunogenicity in the ‘here and now’ across, 3 days of in-depth case studies, deep dive workshops and insightful panel discussions.
