Abstract
As gene therapies continue to offer huge hope for patients of hard-to-treat diseases, the challenges that they pose, from therapy design to manufacture and testing, demand clear and effective solutions.
Gene therapies have the potential to provide a cure for hard-to-treat diseases by correcting genetic errors, and could therefore represent a major advancement in healthcare. However, the process of developing a novel gene therapy is complex, from early discovery through to regulatory approval, and must be carefully navigated, writes Dr Katie Roberts.
