Thank you to our speakers, sponsors, and delegates who joined us in Boston for the 4th Gene Therapy for Ophthalmic Disorders Summit! If you are interested in the 2024 event, please get in touch at info@hansonwade.com

Validate Novel Administration Routes to the Eye, Extrapolate Effectively from Preclinical Models to Inform Safety & Efficacy, and Define Relevant Endpoints for Clinical Trials to Transform Rare & Common Eye Disease Treatment

Gene therapy represents the next frontier in ophthalmology. With recent rapid technological advancements, 100+ programs in active preclinical and clinical development, promising clinical trial results for both rare and common disease, a paradigm shift in how visual impairment is treated is well under way.

At the interface between innovation in preclinical research and those at the forefront of clinical development lies the 4th Annual Gene Therapy for Ophthalmic Disorders Summit that saw thought leaders from leading biopharma and academic institutes working to transform eye disease treatment.
