We aim to bring together scientists and clinicians working in the fields of gene and cell-based therapy to promote communication, collaboration and sharing of knowledge and expertise. We also wish to increase public awareness of and engagement with gene and cellular therapy in the UK and provide a pro-active interface between the general public, patients, scientists, government and the media.

Registration for new members is now available online. To view an application form that may be printed out, please click here. For further information about joining please email your enquiry to info@bsgt.org.
