Imagine Institute at ESGCT 2026

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

Imagine Institute brings 8 presentations to ESGCT 2026 in Hamburg. Its work centres on genome and base editing for inherited blood disorders such as sickle cell disease and the thalassemias. Other strands engineer AAV capsids that reach kidney podocytes and correct recurrent COL7A1 variants behind a severe skin disease.
