Join host Emily Walsh Martin, PhD, and David Altshuler, MD, PhD, Chief Scientific Officer of Vertex Pharmaceuticals. David came to Vertex after a lengthy career in medicine and academic research. David and Emily discuss how David and the team at Vertex think about innovation in drug development and how that impacts how they select programs and approaches for the diseases they focus on. They also cover what he’d love to see happen with new cell and gene platform technologies being brought forward.

Now is the time to register for the ASGCT Policy Summit, held in Washington DC on September 23-24. Whether you attend in person or virtually, you will not want to miss this year’s program. Great sessions are planned on reimbursement, Medicaid, venture capital, strategic investment outlooks, and the evolution of the regulatory landscape. Advanced registration ends August 23, so register today!

CRISPR and Beyond with Vertex CSO David Altshuler, MD, PhD—ASGCT's The Issue

Host Emily Walsh Martin, PhD, is joined by Chris Choi, PhD, Roswell Park Comprehensive Cancer Center's Senior Vice President of Industry Partnerships and Technical Director of the center’s new Good Manufacturing Practice (cGMP) Facility. Dr. Choi is also an associate professor of oncology. This wide-ranging conversation covers cell therapy development and manufacturing and how the growing Roswell Park Center is aiming to support sponsors in the CAR T and cell therapy space. Emily and Chris also discuss their experiences on cross-functional teams and how a program's research, manufacturing, and clinical elements must be knit together for success.

A New Era of Molecular Therapy with Joseph Glorioso, PhD

Derek Jackson, vice president of cell and gene therapy product development at Pacira BioSciences, joins The Issue to take the program in a different direction.

We often focus our discussions on CGT for rare diseases. Most of the time, the teams of scientists working on the program don’t have any personal experience with the disease from their family, friends, or themselves.. but today we will talk about gene therapy development for a much more common disease: knee osteoarthritis. Moreover, the product we will be discussing is not only non-rare but also non-AAV.
