Musculo-Skeletal Cell & Gene Therapy

The Musculo-Skeletal Gene and Cell Therapy committee creates programs for scientific symposia at the Annual Meeting to showcase research in the field of gene and cell therapy that advances our understanding or treatment of diseases affecting bone and skeletal muscles. The committee focuses on highlighting progress in the fields of vector biology, cell and gene delivery to musculo-skeletal tissues, and systemic immune responses to cell and gene therapies. The committee also emphasizes preclinical and clinical translation of advanced molecular therapies for musculo-skeletal diseases.
