BioTalent - Behind The Talent

The Next Generation of Cell & Gene Therapies

BioTalent Social Episode 19

Our BioTalent Social community came together for an informative discussion on ‘The Next Generation of Cell & Gene Therapies,’ hosted by our very own James Hume. The discussion touched on a multitude of topical themes and insights, including: 

  • The role of tech-transfer offices in turning early-stage interventions into products 
  • Current challenges and opportunities for CGT start-ups in Europe  
  • The complexities of clinical trials, and how we can make this smoother 
  • PHDs: the importance of scientific and entrepreneurial learning 
  • Viral vs. non-viral vectors 
  • Mindset in CGT: the importance of resilience, perseverance and ambiguity tolerance 


Thank you to our wonderful panel members Stephen Sullivan, Kerstin Papenfuss and John Counsell for their sharp and focussed insights.
