About Event

The Only For-Industry, Drug Development-First, Gene Editing Summit

The toolbox of precision genome editing and delivery techniques continue to grow in 2024, enabling the community to make safer and more precise edits to a wider variety of disease targets. Translating these exciting technologies into viable therapeutic programs, however, relies on multidisciplinary technical and strategic expertise across areas in which the gene editing field is still in its infancy.

The 2024 Genome Editing Therapeutics Summit will enable you to develop, translate, and deliver novel gene editing technologies in the therapeutic setting, providing the latest data from exciting preclinical and clinical programs, and strategies on the following key topic areas:

Enable Precise Small and Large DNA Fragment Insertion : Comprehensively cover the latest platform development and drug development challenges associated with recombinase- and transposon- based editing technologies

 

Improve the Robustness of Your Nonclinical and Clinical Safety Packages: Navigate safety and toxicity risks, advance your on- and off- target detection strategy, and ensure clinical safety monitoring

 

Unlock Efficient, Cell- and Tissue- Specific Delivery: Progress lipid nanoparticles for extrahepatic delivery, overcome translational challenges of novel delivery vehicles, and tackle scale-up challenges

 

Leverage Regulatory Insights to Progress to the Clinic: Learn how to facilitate a successful IND submission, understand important FDA requirements ahead of commencing first-in-human trials, and unpick new draft guidance on platform technology designations

 

Ensure Freedom-to-Operate and Structure Profitable Licensing Deals: Develop a secure IP and patent strategy for editing and delivery technologies, establish FTO as a start-up biotech, and outline reasonable licensing deal structures 


Learn from expert industry leaders, engage in meaningful group discussion, and form business connections with decision makers to accelerate your safe, precise, and regulatory-compliant programs into the clinic.

Don't Miss the Day One Drinks Reception & Scientific Poster Session

After Conference Day One finishes, stick around in the exhibition room for an evening of networking with new contacts, reconnecting with colleagues, and exploring a select few poster submissions. The reception will feature a collection of alcoholic and soft drinks.
