The KTN in collaboration with Innovate UK, Cell and Gene Therapy Catapult, Department of Health and Kings College London are holding an event focussing on new unmet clinical needs, latest developments in regulatory environment and clinical adoption. Following recent developments and the UK’s Regenerative Medicine Expert Group report recommendations, this event will bring together the UK regenerative medicine communities involving industrialists, academics and clinicians from a number of clinical specialities.

The UK is leading the field in the development of cell and gene therapies. The regulatory system now has a number of mechanisms to accelerate the progress of promising therapies including EAMS and the proposed new PRIME scheme. However, practical challenges still exist to the clinical adoption of these new therapies and getting them to patients, including generating sufficient clinical data, achieving reimbursement and embedding therapies in existing or new clinical pathways).

Leading clinicians and experts from a number of organisations will be presenting at this event. Directors and managers from major funding organisations, e.g. Innovate UK, Research Councils, relevant charities will also be invited to support this event.

The main aims of this event are as follows;

• To discuss challenges affecting clinical adoption of cell and gene-based therapies.
• Facilitate new clinician/industry collaborations in a number of areas of clinical specialities.
• Identify barriers to innovation and commercialisation.
• Review current funding opportunities and identify funding gaps.
• Provide networking opportunities to identify collaborating partners.
• Review supporting mechanisms available to accelerate innovation and commercialisation through KTN and partners Innovate UK, Cell and Gene Therapy Catapult organisations.
• Review current pre-clinical and clinical trials and identify best practice to accelerate regulatory approvals
