Emerging Trends in Gene Therapy: Thalassemia as a Case Study

Thursday, June 22 | 2-3 p.m. ET | Online

Although relatively new in terms of clinical application, several gene therapy-based treatments have, in recent years, received approval from the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and begun to be used in real world settings in the United States. In addition, clinical trials using either gene transfer or genome editing continue to show promise, with the potential to impact treatment for patients with a wide range of hereditary disorders in the future. This webinar will showcase thalassemia as a case example in emerging approaches in gene therapy.
