Hundreds of Abstracts Unveil Groundbreaking Data Ahead of D.C. Conference
MILWAUKEE, WI (PRWEB) April 25, 2017 -- On April 24, 2017, the American Society of Gene & Cell Therapy (ASGCT) lifted the embargo on 785 abstracts in anticipation of the largest gene and cell therapy conference in the world.
Researchers and physicians will unveil the details behind the groundbreaking abstract data May 10-13, 2017 in Washington D.C. at the Marriott Wardman Park Hotel.
The results are expected to have a wide impact on more than 30 million Americans who are battling genetic diseases caused by mutations in genes. Gene and cell therapy are overlapping fields of biomedical research with the goals of repairing the direct cause of genetic diseases in the DNA or cellular population, respectively. This has resulted in an improved outlook for currently incurable genetic diseases, such as muscular dystrophy, sickle cell disease, cystic fibrosis, and hemophilia, among many others.
