Why attend?

The webinar will cover three key topics, each addressing different aspects of gene delivery and gene editing. ​

​The first topic is AAV evolution. Our presenter will explain its importance in gene therapy and showcase recent project developments, including data from ophthalmology, insights into novel capsids and nanobody data.  ​

​The second presentation will focus on how transduction efficiency can be improved, how lentiviral manufacturing costs can be reduced using the LentBOOST TM enhancer technology, its advantages over other enhancers and how it integrates into existing processes, along with a review of relevant safety data. ​

​In the third presentation, we’ll explore gene editing technologies, including base editing, CRISPR, and prime editing. We will compare the different approaches, explain the unique advantages of Revvity’s Pin-pointTM base editing platform, and discuss clinical applications. Additional topics will include the use of transient effectors like shRNA and the SMARTvector multiplex system, clarifying when to use each approach for specific therapeutic needs. ​

​The webinar will conclude with a Q&A session to address audience questions.​

Learning Objectives: 

  • ​​How advancements in AAV evolution are helping to drive potency and lower doses / dosages ​
  • ​​​How to drive down manufacturing costs with LentBOOST TM transduction enhancer.​​
  • ​​Why different gene editing and modulation approaches are needed to expedite the next generation of advanced cell and gene therapies​.

​​Explore how Revvity’s gene delivery technologies can be integrated into therapeutic development.​
