News: A Tale of Do-It-Yourself Gene Therapy
An American woman claims she is the first to undergo gene therapy to reverse aging. Judge for yourself. Can aging be slowed by using gene therapy to make permanent changes to a person’s DNA? One Seattle-area woman says she has tried exactly that. Her claim has entangled some high-profile American academics in a strange tale of do-it-yourself medicine that involves plane flights to Latin America, an L.A. film crew, and what’s purported to be the first attempt to use gene therapy to forestall normal aging.

News: Experimental gene therapy doubles glioblastoma survival rate
An experimental gene therapy drug doubled the survival rate for glioblastoma, an aggressive brain cancer that kills two-thirds of patients within five years, researchers reported at a cancer conference. Typically, glioblastoma patients whose cancer comes back are expected to survive for weeks or months. Researchers reported the results of a Phase 2 clinical trial at the European Cancer Congress 2015 as Phase 3 of the trial begins.

Conference: Cell & Gene Therapy Congress
Oxford Global Conferences are proud to present our Cell & Gene Therapy Congress, taking place on the 9th & 10th November 2015. This event will be co-located with our prestigious 4th Annual Cell Culture & Bioprocessing Congress, as well as our 2nd Annual Stem Cell Congress.

Over 170 delegates will represent leading biotech companies, global pharma organisations and internationally renowned academic institutions. Over 20 presentations, case studies and panel discussions will focus on the key issues in cell & gene therapy, from development and bioprocessing optimisation to commercial production.

2 interactive streams:
- Cell & Gene Therapy: Development, Clinical Trials & Commercialisation
- Cell Therapy Bioprocessing

Over two days, the congress will attract senior-level decision makers working at the forefront of the cell therapy industry from the US and Europe. The conference programme consists of world-class keynote addresses, industry and academic led presentations and panel debates, as well as ample networking opportunities, creating an interactive platform for high-level scientific and business discussion.
