  • The Evolving Regulatory Landscape for Cell and Gene Therapies

    The Evolving Regulatory Landscape for Cell and Gene Therapies

    Huei-Mei Chen
    The regulatory landscape for CGTs is moving towards more explicit, risk-based assessment of intended editing outcomes, off-target activity, and genomic integrity. This evolution reflects both the promise of new editing technologies and the need to understand their potential consequences in clinically relevant biological settings.
