FPM Education Week 2021: Clinical development in gene therapy. Past, present and future
Friday 4 June 2021
16:00-17:30
Clinical development in gene therapy: past, present and future
Workshop 4 | 4 June | 16:00-17:30 GMT+1
This year’s Education Week is all about genomics and genomic applications in pharmaceutical medicine. Since the successful sequencing of the human genome in 2003, new avenues for pharmaceutical medical research and development have rapidly evolved. This has led to a greater understanding of the genetic contribution to variability in clinical pharmacology and predisposition to drug safety concerns, improved understanding of the genetic basis of disease leading to the evolution of precision therapeutics and, finally, the development and approval of the first gene therapies offering potential for cure of genetic disorders.
Clinical development in gene therapy: past, present and future
This session will focus on the history and current clinical trials of gene therapies, as well as challenges and future perspectives. The clinical development of an approved gene therapy will also be discussed.

CPD
If you attend this course you can use it as CPD for your appraisal. To do so you’ll need to provide:
- evidence (certificate of attendance), and
- reflection, specifically a couple of paragraphs on what you learnt, what effect it will have on your current practice and how it relates to Good Medical Practice.
Upload these into your portfolio and self-allocate your CPD points at 0.25 credits per 15 mins.
