Expert Roundtable: In Utero Fetal Gene Therapy and Curative Medicine

Fetal gene therapy for
inherited genetic diseases early in fetal development offers the potential to
cure a disease before the onset of irreversible morbidity. Historically,
interventions in the fetal period were limited by the lack of technology to
make timely and accurate diagnoses. However, thanks to rapid gene sequencing
and gene editing approaches, we can now detect rare genetic disorders within
hours or days and offer readily implementable therapies. Come join us for a
fantastic “lunch and learn” as we engage in a lively discussion on the promises
and perils of curative fetal medicine.
