Our mission:

We aim to support progress and translation of gene and cell therapies.

​

Our vision:

We want to see a world where gene and cell therapies are mainstream.  

 




BSGCT will facilitate this progress by:

 

• Promoting communication and the free flow of information between scientists in academia and industry, leading to better collaborations and the sharing of knowledge and resources.

• Providing a forum for specialised scientific debate in the field of cell- and gene-based treatments, particularly to enhance the education of younger scientists and clinicians.

• Supporting and promoting early career researchers in all aspects of their professional development.

• Improving the interaction between scientists and clinicians, to enhance thorough science-led and ethical evaluation of new technologies in the clinic.

• Improving public awareness and providing an informed and responsible voice for science in this field.

• Improving the productivity of gene and cell therapy research in the UK, expediting technology transfer from the laboratory for clinical study as soon as it is appropriate.

• Developing strong links with donors and funding bodies, aiming to improve the scientific infrastructure that already exists in the UK.
