Venture Cafe Philadelphia: Cell and Gene Therapy Night
May 13, 2021 @ 3:00 pm - 8:00 pm
In 2017, two institutions located blocks from one another in Philadelphia’s University City heralded the arrival of gene and cell therapy as a calling card of Philadelphia’s research community. Since then, Philadelphia has continued to be at the forefront of cell and gene therapy innovation, attracting billions of dollars in venture capital and ushering in a new era of healthcare solutions. Join us as we look at the state of Cell and Gene Therapy in today, and where the industry is headed.
