Cell & Gene Therapy (CGT)
Understanding Cell & Gene Therapy
Cell and gene therapy represent a growing frontier in regenerative medicine. These scientific approaches explore how cells or genetic material might one day help the body repair itself at the source of disease.
While many of these therapies are still under research, they hold promise for advancing how certain conditions may be managed in the future. Ongoing developments continue to shape the potential role of cell and gene therapy in modern healthcare guided by safety, ethics, and medical regulation.
While these technologies are still evolving, researchers around the world are exploring their potential for conditions like inherited disorders, certain cancers, and rare diseases.
SSCTR focuses on educating the public so individuals can understand the science and make informed decisions as these technologies develop.
