Building upon the experience of late-stage and commercial stakeholders, the session progresses operational excellence and broader patient access to CGTs by serving as a collaborative platform to build the roadmap for maturing our field. As a community, we recognize the clinical and commercial milestones, and celebrate the transformational impact for patients, but we remain committed to addressing the challenges.

This Plenary session will feature experiences and considerations towards operational execution, challenges and concerns about cell/gene/tissue-based therapies for society, and insights into these therapies as viable and sustainable models. Bring your thinking caps to learn, and your hard hats to get to work so that we can continue to pave the future of cell and gene therapies.
