Navigating global regulatory frameworks for cell and gene therapy development
Presenter:
Kirsten Messmer, PhD, RAC
Senior Research Analyst, POLITICO’s AgencyIQ
Presentation Description: The potential of advanced therapies to treat and/or cure many rare diseases and life-threatening conditions has drawn the industry’s interest for product development. The number of innovative technologies under development has increased almost exponentially over the past few years. Additionally, medicinal product developers increasingly aim to develop investigational products for the global market in part because some of these therapies may only treat a few patients globally. However, global development also means navigating a heterogeneous array of global frameworks for advanced therapies.
