Gene- and cell-based therapies are fast-growing forms of personalized medicine that rely on steady advances in gene transfer technologies, stem cell manipulation and the growing capacity for genetic reprogramming of mammalian cells. They may fulfill the promise of safe and effective therapies for currently untreatable diseases. The session will describe the latest developments and the crucial challenges for this field, touching on basic science, pre-clinical and clinical studies, with an emphasis on gene therapy approaches for blood, ocular and neurodegenerative disorders, and with a special insight in novel approaches aimed to generate transplantable neuronal populations from induced pluripotent stem cells.
