Tigem at ESGCT 2026

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

Tigem brings 16 presentations to ESGCT 2026 in Hamburg. Its work centres on AAV and mRNA therapies for metabolic and retinal diseases, including liver-directed approaches for lysosomal and bile flow disorders. Another strand designs synthetic gene circuits that hold a therapeutic dose steady whatever the number of gene copies delivered.
