Genetic Technologies: Part of the Medicine of the Future

World Trade Center Moscow, entrance No. 4, 2nd floor, conference hall 3

The creation of gene-therapeutic drugs, something unheard in the not-so-distant past, capable of effectively treating patients with defective genes is a 21st century breakthrough in biological medicine. However, on the path leading to both the development and complete adaptation of gene therapy a number of fundamental challenges must be overcome. The incredible variety of ailments alone makes applying a standard protocol for developing, registering, and commercializing new gene-therapeutic treatments nearly impossible, and instead dictates that new strategic approaches for solving this problem be developed. What is the current state of medicinal genetic diagnosis? Where exactly is the advantage of creating and using biobanks? What are the end results of the first year of neonatal screening and non-invasive prenatal DNA screening as part of clinical practices?
