Welcome to the CGTP Europe Symposium
The Cell and Gene Therapy Products (CGTP) Europe Symposium: Manufacturing, Quality and Regulatory Considerations enables the exchange of scientific knowledge, innovations, and strategies between industry, regulators, and academia. These discussions can form the basis from which to evolve both industry and regulatory practices in the development of these diverse and innovative products.
The Symposium will debut in 2025 as an extension of the US Cell and Gene Therapy Products Symposium. Keeping to the established Symposium model, the European Symposium will highlight topics and regulatory updates pertinent to Europe while maintaining a global outlook. The 2025 Symposium will explore how to continue adapting concepts derived from other biologics specifically to CGTP and how to establish novel approaches where they are needed.
All attendees are encouraged to review the information provided to ensure you are prepared for your experience. The full scientific program will be available soon.
