Westlake-Science Joint Online Symposium
Symposium #7: Gene and Cell Therapy
Gene and cell therapy represent groundbreaking advancements in medical science, offering the potential to treat and even cure previously intractable diseases. By harnessing the power of genetic modification and cellular engineering, these innovative therapies can correct genetic defects, regenerate damaged tissues, and restore normal function at a molecular level. The significance of this field cannot be overstated; it holds promise for addressing a wide array of conditions, from inherited genetic disorders and cancers to degenerative diseases and beyond. As we stand on the brink of a new era in medicine, our symposium will delve into the latest research, technological innovations, and clinical applications that are driving this revolution. Join us to explore how gene and
cell therapy are transforming healthcare and paving the way for a future where precision medicine and personalized treatments become the norm.
