Uniting Gene and Cell Therapy Experts
November 12-13, 2024
The Gene and Cell Therapy Institute (GCTI)'s annual research symposium stands as a global hub, drawing in esteemed researchers, accomplished scientists, and industry professionals from across the globe. Together, they share a common goal of disseminating knowledge, unveiling cutting-edge breakthroughs, and envisioning the transformative potential within the realm of gene and cell therapy.
What sets the symposium apart is its commitment to cultivating a unique and collaborative environment. Building on the sucess of the inaugral symposium in 2023 which attracted over 500 registrants and featured keynote speakers Siddhartha Mukherjee, MD, DPhil and R. Jude Samulski, PhD, the 2024 event (November 12-13, 2024) will feature engaging discussions by leading pioneers in gene and cell therapy research and plentiful opportunities for networking and collaboration among attendees.
2024 Gene and Cell Therapy Research Symposium
The 2nd annual Gene and Cell Therapy Research Symposium will take place November 12-13, 2024, bringing together Mass General Brigham researchers and clinicians dedicated to advancing gene and cell therapy.

2023 Symposium Highlights
The Gene and Cell Therapy Institute held its inaugural Gene and Cell Therapy Research Symposium in November 2023 in collaboration with the Mass General Research Institute and the Brigham Research Institute. The symposium welcomed approximately 500 registrants, primarily from the Mass General Brigham community. Over the course of the day-long event, Mass General Brigham investigators discussed their research across four areas: viral gene therapy, platform technology, translation and cell therapy.

The 2023 symposium included an overview of the GCTI’s Spark Grant program, which funds gene and cell therapy projects by Mass General Brigham investigators that demonstrate tangible advancements toward clinical applications and commercialization outcomes including licensing, partnerships and new company creation. In its inaugural year the program received 56 proposals from Mass General Brigham investigators, and six grant recipients were each awarded $250,000 to continue their innovative work in disease areas such as Huntington's disease, cancer, chronic pain and deafness.
