Canadian Rare Disease Symposium: Preparing for Clinical Trials – International Regulatory Insights, and cGMP Gene Therapy Manufacturing capabilities in Canada

The Stem Cell Network (SCN) and the National Research Council Canada (NRC) are excited to contribute to the national conversation on cell and gene therapy for rare diseases. Building on the 2024 event titled “Canadian Rare Disease Ecosystem Symposium: Genetic Therapies for Rare Disease”, SCN and NRC are pleased to invite you to the Canadian Rare Disease Symposium: Preparing for Clinical Trials – International Regulatory Insights, and cGMP Gene Therapy Manufacturing Capabilities in Canada–a focused half-day event dedicated to advancing gene and cell therapy development in Canada through regulatory alignment and manufacturing readiness.
This virtual symposium will convene international regulatory authorities, Canadian manufacturing experts, and rare disease developers to explore two critical enablers of translational success: clinical trial readiness and cGMP manufacturing capacity.
