University Medical Center Hamburg-Eppendorf at ESGCT 2026

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

University Medical Center Hamburg-Eppendorf brings 23 presentations to ESGCT 2026 in Hamburg, its home city. Its work centres on AAV capsid engineering for cell-type-specific targeting, much of it aimed at kidney cells, and on engineered CAR and NK cells for blood cancers. Nanobody-displaying vectors and bispecific adaptors run through the targeting work.
