The objectives of the ESGT include the following:
- promote basic and clinical research in gene therapy;
- facilitate education (and the exchange of information and technologies) related to gene transfer and therapy;
- serve as a professional adviser to the gene therapy community and various regulatory bodies in Europe.
The official journal of the ESGT is The Journal of Gene Medicine.
Collaborations
The ESGT works with other entities in the scientific communities in the event that an adverse effect to a specific gene therapy is discovered. In Medicine, an adverse effect is a harmful and undesired effect resulting from a medication or other intervention such as Chemotherapy or Surgery. Investigations the ESGT has been involved with include the adverse effects discovered during the French X-SCID gene therapy trial. X-linked Severe Combined Immunodeficiency (X-SCID is a profound and severe Immunodeficiency characterized by the complete absence of NK cells and T cells The ESGT hosted a forum of 500 researchers from various facilities around the world, including representatives from the Stanford University and the Sloan Kettering Cancer Research Center. Leland Stanford Junior University, commonly known as Stanford University or simply Stanford, is a private Research university located in Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center (MSKCC is a Cancer treatment and research institution founded in 1884 as the New York Cancer Hospital.
