European Society of Gene and Cell Therapy

European Society of Gene & Cell Therapy (ESGCT) formerly European Society of Gene Therapy (ESGT) is a legally registered professional body which emerged from a small working group in 1992 that focused on human gene therapy.

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.
