Cell & Gene Therapy World Congress 2023 Europe
Cell and Gene therapies are life-changing new categories of medicines whose full potential is only just beginning to emerge. They are cutting-edge and rapidly progressing fields of Biological Therapies. Both therapies aim to
treat, prevent or potentially cure diseases and both approaches offer the potential to diminish the fundamental cause of genetic and acquired diseases by substituting the missing protein or cells causing the disease’s symptoms. Cell and gene therapies may offer longer lasting effects than traditional medicines. They are overlapping fields of biomedical research and treatments. However, cell and gene therapies work differently. Cell therapy aims to treat diseases by restoring or altering certain sets of cells or by using cells to carry a therapy through the body while gene therapy treats diseases by replacing, inactivating or introducing genes into cells— either inside the body (in vivo) or outside of the body (ex vivo). Some therapies are considered both cell and gene therapies. These therapies work by modifying genes in specific types of cells and inserting them into the body.
With the promising significance of Cell and Gene therapy, it is poised to transform the healthcare and biopharma industry soon. The market is estimated to increase expeditiously, encompassing sales forecasts of
EUR 27.9 billion by 2026. The development of biological therapies is rapidly expanding, however, it poses different challenges to research and development, authorisation, manufacturing, accessibility, and ensuring safety throughout the lifecycle of the product.
The two-day Congress will provide an interactive, cutting edge, and comprehensive discussions in collaborative format led by key experts with intimate knowledge in the industry. Gain practical strategies and best practices on challenges, innovations, technologies, and concepts to help you gain access to the booming CGT market.
We are putting together an agenda that focuses on “Realising the promises of next generation therapies”.
We are gathering high calibre expert speakers to participate and share their knowledge and expertise through Keynote Presentations and Panel discussions, addressing all aspects of the industry.
We look forward to welcoming you to the CGT World Congress 2023!

STEM CELL SCIENCE & REGENERATIVE MEDICINES 2023
INTRODUCTION
Stem cell research, tissue engineering, and regenerative medicine hold the potential to revolutionize the way human diseases are treated, and many nations have therefore invested heavily in these genetically engineered components and its applications. Considerable research has enabled the fabrication of sophisticated grafts and cell manipulation technologies to analyze the molecular level of controlling cell behavior and repairing tissue. However, these revolutionary medicines are also controversial with many ethical and regulatory questions that impact a nation’s policies.
The upcoming 2023 Stem Cell Science and Regenerative Medicines Congress focuses on a diverse range of topics and addresses the challenges, obstacles, and opportunities for innovation in the design and execution of clinical trials.
This will also offer and provide a unique platform for knowledge sharing and convergence from Pharmaceuticals, Biotechnology, Regulatory, and many more.

Testimonials
Thank you for a good experience with the PARADIGM Global Events… very high level, very good Organization, we overpassed our expectatives, we will be pending for another congress related to pharmaceutical and biotech… we learned a lot, and i think that the content of agenda was state of the art, thank you again.
SALVADOR BERRIOS
ERP/ CRM / Product Configurator Manager
The consistently high quality of international faculty was most impressive. It was also obvious that they were carefully chosen not only for their particular expertise but also for their ability to communicate the subject matter to clinical and non-clinical participants alike. As market access consultant for pharma clients of various sizes, I now feel much better prepared to explain the nuances & dynamics involved in bringing their products to market. In addition, I am in a much better position to intelligently advice my clients & help them set realistic expectations
THOMAS MARTIN
Associate Vice President, VCGA - Quintiles
I was impressed with the organization of this event. I attend many conferences per year and find the organizers on site to be detached and not focus on good service to the delegates. This team was even providing weather forecast warning to ensure everyone was aware and made appropriate plans. Well Done.
