Genethon at ESGCT 2026

Oct 27–30, 2026 Hamburg, Germany ~2.5k attendees Website

Genethon brings 25 presentations to ESGCT 2026 in Hamburg. Its work centres on AAV gene therapy for neuromuscular diseases such as Duchenne muscular dystrophy, and on the immune barriers to dosing and redosing. Other strands cover capsid library screening and vector purification for larger-scale production.
