Genethon to Unveil Revolutionary Gene Therapy Research at European Congress in Rome
  • Currently, thirteen of Genethon's products are in clinical trials, with an additional seven expected to enter trials in the next five years.

  • The integration of Asimov's clonal HEK293 cell line with optimized two-plasmid systems can yield unconcentrated titers of up to 1E12 viral genomes per milliliter across various serotypes.

  • Genethon, a pioneering French laboratory established by AFM-Telethon, will present groundbreaking research at the European Society of Gene & Cell Therapy's 31st Annual Congress in Rome from October 22 to 25, 2024.

  • The event will showcase four oral presentations and 18 posters highlighting advancements in gene therapies for various diseases.

  • Mark Stockdale will discuss the role of synthetic biology and artificial intelligence in enhancing the safety, potency, and manufacturability of gene therapies.

  • Maelle Ralu will present CRISPR-Cas9 strategies that enhance utrophin expression in Duchenne muscular dystrophy models, potentially improving patient outcomes.

  • In addition to the oral presentations, 18 posters will be presented by Genethon collaborators on topics such as AAV vector purification and therapeutic efficacy of dystrophin variants.

  • Genethon is recognized for its leadership in developing gene therapies for rare diseases, employing over 200 professionals dedicated to innovative treatments.

  • Frederic Revah, CEO of Genethon, emphasized the significance of sharing their latest research results, which have the potential to transform patient care.

  • Serge Braun will kick off the congress with a presentation on the Phase 1/2 clinical trial results of an AAV8 vector-delivered microdystrophin gene therapy for Duchenne muscular dystrophy.

  • Louisa Jauze will share findings on a gene therapy that corrected metabolic issues in a mouse model of type III glycogenosis, demonstrating long-term benefits.

  • A live webinar on miniaturized plasmid technology, hosted by VectorBuilder, will take place on November 14, 2024, providing insights into advancements in gene delivery.
