IMAPAC will be hosting a series of monthly webcasts from May 2023 to September 2023 in the lead up to our main conference, 7th Annual Cell & Gene Therapy World Asia 2023 in Singapore. These webcasts will cover timely topics facing the APAC cell & gene therapy industry, and will set the stage for more in-depth discussion this coming September during the main conference.
APAC Cell & Gene Therapy Festival 2023 aims to bring together 4-5 experts in the Cell and Gene Therapy sector and solution providers across the Cell and Gene Therapy development lifecycle into a panel discussion, to find solutions and to maximize the value of new therapies.
