Immune Responses to Cell & Gene Therapy

The committee is composed of a group of experts in the study of immune responses to cell and gene therapy. The committee reviews the latest research on immunological barriers and on immunology related toxicities to cell and gene therapy, selecting topics to be showcased at the Annual meetings and other workshops organized by the ASGCT. Topics include both preclinical and clinical studies on innate and adaptive immune responses to viral and non-viral gene transfer vectors and their encoded transgenes, immune response in cell therapy, ex vivo gene therapy, and gene editing. The scope of this committee also includes new treatments of potential strategies to mitigate immune-related adverse events.
