Education Sessions
The goal of the ASGT Education Program is to provide participants with a broad background and introduction to topics relevant to the field of gene therapy. Education Sessions will be subdivided into two headings. “Topical Review” sessions will provide a broad perspective of an area of importance to the gene therapy community such as major vector systems, specific target organs or diseases, and funding/regulatory issues. “Emerging Field Review” sessions will provide a broad perspective of a technological or scientific discipline that has recently become of great significance to our members.
