Exploring the advantages of ready-to-use lipid-based gene delivery for gene-modified cell therapy

Live30 webinars are thirty-minute presentations designed to update you on the latest innovations, applications, and data in a fast yet interactive format.

Attend this webinar to explore a non-viral alternative for ex vivo transfection of immune and stem cells, designed to overcome the limitations of traditional gene delivery methods. Learn how innovative lipid-based gene delivery offers key advantages for gene-modified cell therapies (GMCTs), including simplicity of use, cost-efficiency, high efficacy and enhanced cell health and growth, compared to viral vectors and/or electroporation.

Case study data will be presented detailing firsthand experience with the technology in a head-to-head comparison with electroporation for TRAC knockout in T cells, highlighting its ease of use and cost-efficiency, and potential to reshape the future of GMCT development.

Attend this webinar to learn about:

• Key advantages of lipid-based delivery approaches for ex vivo transfection of immune and stem cells, including accessibility, cost-efficiency and cell viability
• Real-world applications and benefits of lipid-based gene delivery versus traditional methods like electroporation and viral vectors
• Practical applications of non-viral delivery for gene-modified cell therapies including engineered T cells, NK cells and hematopoietic stem cells in key disease areas including cancer, autoimmune disease, and genetic disorders
