Event Summary: ASGCT 2026 Annual Meeting

At the end of May, I had the pleasure of attending the 2026 ASGCT Annual Meeting in Boston. Now in its 29th year, the meeting remains the premier gathering for the cell and gene therapy community, and this year did not disappoint. Over several packed days, the program brought together researchers, clinicians, developers, and advocates working across the full spectrum of the field – from foundational vector biology to first-in-human programs and emerging editing platforms. Here are some of the sessions that stood out most to me.

Abstract

At the end of May, I had the pleasure of attending the 2026 ASGCT Annual Meeting in Boston. Now in its 29th year, the meeting remains the premier gathering for the cell and gene therapy community, and this year did not disappoint. Over several packed days, the program brought together researchers, clinicians, developers, and advocates working across the full spectrum of the field – from foundational vector biology to first-in-human programs and emerging editing platforms. Here are some of the sessions that stood out most to me.
