EB is a genetic disorder that affects how cells and tissues are held together, causing extremely fragile skin that tears or blisters from even light friction or minor injuries. Earlier this year, the first ever topical gene therapy was approved in the EU to treat wounds caused by dystrophic EB.

We've updated our resources on skin stem cells and epidermolysis bullosa (EB).

We use the internet to share fundamental science, current research, and the legal/ethical aspects of these treatments. We collaborate online with scientists, clinicians, advocates and others across Europe to create our resources. Our volunteer network supports translation into 7 languages.

🌍 Happy World Wide Web Day!

Without the internet, what we do at EuroGCT wouldn’t be possible. We're here to help European citizens make sense of gene and cell therapy; what it is, how it works and how it might affect them.

Anna Couturier led a panel on including patients in therapeutic development. The conversation highlighted the mutual benefits of engaging with patients at the earliest stages of development, and the need to share PPI methodologies, best practices and success stories across the industry.

EuroGCT @eurogct.bsky.social · May 1

🗪 Is the advanced therapies industry doing enough to capture the patient voice?

At #AdvancedTherapiesIntegratesNorth, one theme came up repeatedly throughout a day of insightful panels: the importance of building trust and communicating meaningfully with patients.

EuroGCT @eurogct.bsky.social · Apr 15

Panellists will include:

Efstratia Papoutselou, Rinri Therapeutics
Arunesh Sil, Sanofi
@Caoimhe Nic An tSaoir, Lonrú Consulting
Paula Shutt, @sicklecelluk.bsky.social
Priscilla Fernandez, @edinburgh-uni.bsky.social

EuroGCT @eurogct.bsky.social · Apr 15

EuroGCT is supporting #AdvancedTherapiesIntegratesNorth!

Anna Couturier will facilitate the "Putting Patients First" panel session to explore the role patients play in therapeutic development, and how their needs and experiences must shape the process.

This month, we met with our legal researchers in Aix-Marseille to promote understanding of the legal route to ATMP development across Europe.

Our Research Pathways Directory aims to help navigate the complex process of bringing gene and cell therapies from the lab to patients.
