On this episode of Soundbites of the Annual Meeting, we talked to Kimberly Haugstad, CEO of RareRising and a longtime rare disease advocate who is also the parent of a child with severe hemophilia.

In her conversation with ASGCT's Communications Committee Chair, Lynnea Olivarez, Kimberly discusses:

• why patients, as the "lived experience experts" are so important to rare disease communications

• advice for scientists who would like to engage more directly with patient communities

• what's giving her hope right now

This episode is the fourth in a series hosted by Molecular Therapy Editor-in-Chief Joseph Glorioso, PhD, that will cover comprehensive reviews of critical developments in the field of gene and cell therapy over the past 25 years.

In this episode, Dr. Glorioso will discuss the review, How to democratize cell and gene therapy: A global approach, with author Rayne Rouce, MD, Texas Children’s Hospital.

If you want to learn more about cell and gene therapy access, register for the ASGCT Policy Summit, September 25-26, in Washington, D.C.! We’ll hear from policymakers, industry leaders, and science stakeholders, who will explore solutions to the challenges of accessing therapeutic treatments.

On this episode of Soundbites of the Annual Meeting, we talked to Mimi Lee, MD, PhD, a physician-scientist and program manager at the Advanced Research Projects Agency for Health (ARPA-H).

In her conversation with ASGCT's Communications Committee Chair, Lynnea Olivarez, Dr. Lee discusses:

• ARPA-H's unique approach to funding and structuring CGT development

• breaking down silos to improve health outcomes for all
• the role that CGT will play in prevention, rather than just treatment, of diseases

On this episode of Soundbites of the Annual Meeting, we talked to Stephen Kaminsky, PhD, professor of research in genetic medicine at Weill Cornell Medical College, and lead author of a phase 1 clinical trial of a new vaccine for cocaine addiction.

In his conversation with ASGCT's Communications Committee Chair, Lynnea Olivarez, Dr. Kaminsky discusses:

• How the vaccine works and how its approach is different from other treatments
• Safety results from the unblinded data
• Implications this vaccine could have for other substance use disorders

This episode is the third in a series hosted by Molecular Therapy Editor-in-Chief Joseph Glorioso, PhD, that will cover comprehensive reviews of critical developments in the field of gene and cell therapy over the past 25 years.

In this episode, Dr. Glorioso will discuss the reviews, “Current trends in gene therapy to treat inherited disorders of the brain,” with author Beverly Davidson, PhD, The Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia, and “The road toward AAV-mediated gene therapy of Duchenne muscular dystrophy,” with author Jeff Chamberlain, PhD, University of Washington School of Medicine.

If you enjoy this deep dive into research that is critical to the field, check out two more ASGCT events happening this fall: Advancing Cell and Gene Therapies for Cancer and Breakthroughs in Targeted In Vivo Gene Editing. During these events – in October and November, respectively – you’ll be able to hear directly from researchers about their own work related to these topics, or you can submit your own abstract for possible presentation. We hope to see you there!

During this episode of Soundbites of the Annual Meeting, we spoke with P.J. Brooks, PhD, who is Deputy Director of the Division of Rare Diseases Research Innovation, part of the National Center for Advancing Translational Sciences (NCATS) at the National Institutes of Health (NIH).

In his conversation with ASGCT's Communications Committee Chair, Lynnea Olivarez, Dr. Brooks talked about:

• The impact of developing cell and gene therapies as platforms to treat more than one disease
• Projects he's involved in that are working towards the platform approach
• What's giving him hope right now about the future of the field
