Gene therapy is a rapidly developing treatment option. Despite this growth, there are limited opportunities for training in the area of gene therapy vector manufacturing.
The solution is the Gene Therapy Training Network (GTTN). The network will enable development of courses related to gene therapy, transfer of these courses to other institutions within the National Institute for Innovation in Manufacturing Biopharmaceuticals (NIIMBL), and standardization of course content and
curriculum for professionals.
Transfer of the "Hands-On cGMP Biomanufacturing of Vectors for Gene Therapy" course to other institutions and regions, enabling opportunities for employees to develop skills in the complex processes required for cGMP production of gene therapy vectors
Development of comprehensive set of courses related to gene therapy, and standardization of gene therapy course content and curriculum for professionals
