Dear Colleagues,

On behalf of the Organizing and Scientific Committees, it is with great pleasure that I would like to welcome you to the forthcoming 7th Annual Meeting of the Hellenic Society of Gene Therapy and Regenerative Medicine, which will be held in Thessaloniki, Greece on May 24-26, 2024. The Board of Directors of the HSGTRM is pleased to announce that we are organizing a live Meeting this year with physical presence of all speakers and participants! We envisage a forum that will provide ample opportunities to meet and interact with distinguished scientists, researchers as well as distinctive experts from Greece and Europe, and promote a high level of networking.

The meeting will cover diverse aspects in the field of Gene & Cell Therapy and Regenerative Medicine, including pluripotent stem cell disease modeling, exosome therapeutics, regenerative perspectives of cord blood banks, clinical progress and challenges of gene therapy & editing, and updates on CAR-T and non-engineered T-cell targeting of malignancies and viruses. Also included is an educational program on state-of-the-art tools and approaches to overcome current barriers and enable successful data analysis and management. Keynote lectures will be delivered by distinguished international Faculty, while productive discussions are expected to be stimulated that will keep professionals up to date on issues related to Gene therapy, Regenerative medicine and the regulatory framework of Advanced Therapies. In addition, the oral and poster sessions will give the opportunity to young scientists and junior faculty to present their research and productively interact with their peers.

The meeting is intended to bring together relevant field experts, scientists, clinicians, industry representatives, postdoctoral fellows, and research students, providing them with opportunity to report, present, share, and discuss scientific advancements, remaining issues and future challenges in the field!

I am looking forward to meeting you all in Thessaloniki and to joining fruitful discussions!

Sincerely,
Rebecca Matsas
President of Board of Directors
