Witten/Herdecke University at ESGCT 2026

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

Witten/Herdecke University brings 6 presentations to ESGCT 2026 in Hamburg. Its work centres on adenoviral vectors, from next-generation designs for better delivery to chimeric helper-dependent vectors for a bleeding disorder. Other strands develop oncolytic adenoviruses against pancreatic and head and neck cancers, with patient-derived models to test them.
