Thursday, November 18, 2021
11:30 AM – 12:30 PM ET
Location: Livestreamed
This session is designed for those who are new to IBC/gene therapy or whose hospital/health system was thrust into this space by COVID-19. The world has been introduced to mRNA and was surprisingly comfortable with genetically engineered treatments. Gene therapy-based products are entering human trials at an exponential growth rate. During this session, speakers will review the basics of conducting human gene therapy research and the requirements for IBC review as outlined in NIH Office of Science Policy guidelines.
Learning Objectives:
Review the basic regulations and guidelines governing IBCs and gene therapy research
Explain the role of the IBC and where their oversight is different from the IRB
Share key takeaways to prepare your research organization to participate in this growing field of research
