Gene Therapy: Past, Present, Future

February, 13

16:00–17:30

Genetic Technologies: Part of the Medicine of the Future

World Trade Center Moscow, entrance No. 4, 2nd floor, conference hall 6

Gene therapy is one of the most promising areas of the molecular medicine of the future. Gene therapy, which was originally developed primarily for the treatment of hereditary diseases, is now actively used to treat non-hereditary diseases. Currently, the most promising way to transfer genes during gene therapy is their inclusion in vectors that are built on the basis of retro- or adenoviruses. What are the benefits of personalized gene therapy? Which gene therapy approaches for treating hereditary diseases are the most effective today? Which segment of gene therapy drugs is developing the most actively and is most promising?
