WELCOME MESSAGE
DEAR COLLEAGUES AND FRIENDS
Welcome to the inaugural Singapore Cell and Gene Therapy Pan Asia Summit 2024, held in partnership with the International Society for Cell and Gene Therapy. The conference will take place on the 19th and 20th of July 2024 in Singapore and will incorporate a pre-conference seminar and workshop on 18th July.
Jointly organised by the Advanced Cell Therapy and Research Institute, Singapore (ACTRIS), A*STAR’s Institute of Molecular and Cell Biology (IMCB), Regenerative Medicine Institute of Singapore (REMEDIS) and SingHealth Duke-NUS Cell Therapy Centre (SDCT), this summit will be Singapore’s largest cell and gene therapy (CGT) summit for 2024.
Themed “Enabling Cell and Gene Therapies for Asia”, the conference brings together CGT leaders in the region to showcase groundbreaking research, share practical insights into the curative roles of CGT in improving patients’ lives, as well as its impact for industrial development in Singapore and beyond.
The two-day programme will also offer ample opportunities for fruitful learning and networking and forging partnerships with clinicians, researchers, cell manufacturing experts and industry players. Delegates can look forward to a strong line-up of international and local speakers who will discuss a wide range of leading CGT topics with a focus on regenerative medicine and immunotherapy.
We have an exciting panel of speakers, including Professor Tak Wah Mak who discovered the T cell receptor and Professor Aude Chapuis, an expert in blood stem cell transplantation and immunotherapy.
On behalf of the Organising Committee, we look forward to welcoming you at the Singapore Cell and Gene Therapy Pan Asia Summit 2024 in Singapore.
