TOPIC: Challenges of Outsourcing Gene Therapy Projects

TOPIC DESCRIPTION: The field of gene therapy is currently in a transition period. The first few therapeutic successes and approved products have led to much excitement and investment, but with associated growing pains. Venture startups expect to be able to outsource similarly to Mab projects, but outsourcing options for gene therapy are not nearly as well developed and are often over capacity. At the same time, the impact of breakthrough therapy designation may be increasing regulatory expectations, which challenges assumptions used for development plans.
