The 3rd Annual Gene and Cell Engineering Virtual Summit will open with Dr. Dimitrios L. Wagner, Head of R&D, at the Berlin Center for Advanced Therapies (BeCAT) for his presentation titled "CD3ζ as a Novel Integration Site for Reprogramming Immune Cells with Chimeric Antigen Receptors". Attendees are invited to join the live event to learn more.
The event's agenda also features riveting presentations from leading experts, including:
- "Advancing Protein Stabilization Therapeutic Development and DUBTAC Drug Discovery through Gene and Cell Engineering" by Dr. Yongli Shan from Vicinitas Therapeutics. Dr. Shan will discuss how Vicinitas Therapeutics uses gene and cell engineering for stable expression of disease-related proteins and screening of small-molecule drugs that inhibit protein degradation. He will also explore how genetically engineered cell lines facilitate induced-proximity-based small-molecule drug discovery.
- "Characterization and Biodistribution of REGENXBIO NAV® Platform Capsids: Under-employed Gene Therapy Vector AAV7" by Dr. Samantha Yost, Senior Scientist at REGENXBIO. Dr. Yost will shed light on the importance of studying naturally occurring AAV capsids and discuss the advantages of a whole-body approach when describing the biodistribution of novel vectors.
- "Harnessing iNKT Cells for 'Off-The-Shelf' Cancer Therapy" by Dr. Lili Yang, Associate Professor at UCLA. Dr. Yang will discuss the generation of allogeneic HSC-iNKT cells in vitro, their ability to target tumor cells, their safety, and low immunogenicity based on preclinical study findings.
- "SLEEK: A Highly Efficient Transgene Knock-in Technology in Clinically Relevant Cell Types" by Dr. John Zuris, Director of Editing Technologies at Editas Medicine. Dr. Zuris will highlight the capabilities of SLEEK, including its ability to generate multiplex-edited allogeneic T cells with near homogeneity and its capacity to insert up to four transgene cargos in tandem in a single knock-in cassette. He will also discuss the tunability of SLEEK and its potential applications.
The summit promises to provide a dynamic forum for discussing ground-breaking innovations in gene and cell engineering and fostering collaborations between scientists globally.
