Join us at the ADVANCE 5-day Summer School, which will take place face-to-face 20-24 June 2022. The event will be building on the knowledge of the online course on ATMPs (Cell and Gene Therapies) development that was launched in December 2020. The agenda of the event follows the 4 key challenges and bottlenecks of the ATMPs development cycle: Scientific, Manufacturing, Regulatory, and Reimbursement/ Commercialisation. In addition, clinical aspects will be discussed.
The core target group are the “next generation of ATMP developers” – i.e. early-career biomedical academics (PhDs, Postdocs), including doctors in training, clinician-scientists and SME-based professionals, who are considered to be an important component of the labour market and the critical intermediaries of the ATMP development pipeline.
