The aim of the British Society for Gene Therapy is to accelerate scientific
progress and promote ethical and efficient transfer of gene- and cell-based
technologies from the laboratory into the clinic.
Gene therapy is an area where co-operation between ALL the interested parties -
general public, patients, scientists, government and the media - is vital for
the optimal development of these technologies and treatments, and BSGT is
working towards becoming this pro-active interface.
