EuroGCT is here to help European citizens make sense of gene and cell therapy.

As a network of scientists and academics, we provide independent, expert-reviewed information and road-tested educational resources on gene and cell therapies and their impact on society.

DNA

We work with people affected by conditions, educators, regulators, media, healthcare professionals and policy makers to foster engagement and develop material that meets their needs.

Discover Gene and Cell Therapy

A scientist working in a sterile hood

We've developed and compiled materials on the science behind gene and cell therapies, and their ethical and social impact. These include factsheets, resources and videos, produced and reviewed by scientists, social scientists, and patient advocates. 

Find here information for patients, educators, or anyone interested in learning more.

Lab to Patient Pathways

Scientist looking down a microscope

Bringing therapies from the lab bench to patients is a complex process. We compile and signpost resources to help guide researchers and wider communities through these development processes - from legal regulations to best practices.

Find here information and resources for researchers and those interested in advanced therapy development in Europe.

Clinical Trials & Patient Involvement

Clinical trials are an essential part of the therapy development process and rely on patient participants. There are many factors to be taken into consideration to ensure the decision to participate is right for you and your family. 

This section provides more information on clinical trials as well as other ways patients and members of the public can contribute to cell and gene therapy research and development.
