ADVANCE workshop on cell and gene therapies

The 5-day ADVANCE workshop will offer an interactive and in-depth program on advanced therapy medicinal products (ATMPs), which hold great potential for achieving long-term improvement or even curing diseases that currently cannot be treated with synthetic and biological medicines. The program addresses four key challenges in the development cycle of ATMPs: scientific and clinical, manufacturing, regulatory, and pharmacoeconomic.

Target audience:

• PhD students in the broader field of biomedical sciences (pharmacy, medicine, veterinary medicine, biology, biochemistry, biotechnology, etc.);
• pharmacists, biotechnologies;
• professionals from pharmaceutical and biotechnological companies;
• employees in the regulatory field;
• postdoctoral researchers;
• medical doctors.

The interactive program will include:

• lectures on key topics by experts in the field,
• a visit to a biotechnology company and a simulation of work in a GMP environment,
• practical activities (workshops, group work),
• presentations by participants and their work,
• numerous networking opportunities!
