Media events planned for 2007 American Society of Gene Therapy meeting, May 30-June 3

WHAT
The American Society of Gene Therapy (ASGT) is pleased to invite members of the pres to a media only event designed to highlight some of the latest and most promising developments in gene therapy products and related technologies.

WHERE
Grand Hyatt Seattle Menzies Room

WHEN
Thursday, May 31, 2007, 7:00 9:00 pm (reception at 6:30 pm)

WHY
Several children born with "bubble-boy disease" caused by ADA deficiency have been cured by gene therapy without major side effects and researchers have ameliorated a growing list of disease conditions in animals including diabetes, arthritis, heart disease and cancer. Some of these gene therapy treatments are now in advanced stages of clinical trials.

WHO
Leading scientists in the fields of cancer, arthritis, infectious diseases, and childhood blindness will discuss their research and progress toward bringing these promising gene therapy technologies and products to the clinic.

Speakers include:

  • Theodore Friedmann, M.D

  • Philip J. Mease, M.D.

  • John Rossi, Ph.D.
