Cell & Gene Therapies

Cell and gene therapies are a transformative new category of​ medicines whose full potential is only just beginning to emerge. Advancements in immunology and genetic engineering have led to the development of promising cellular therapeutics for treating cancer and autoimmune and infectious diseases. 

Cell & Gene Therapies

Overview

Cell and gene therapies have potential applications in many disease areas, including cancers, autoimmune, neurological, and rare diseases. Cell therapies involve the use of living cells such as immune or stem cells, which may be engineered in vitro to enhance their therapeutic potential. Gene therapies introduce corrected copies of DNA that repair or replace faulty genes.
