Expanding the knowledge on advanced therapies
Curative or near curative therapies for Rare and Orphan Diseases have been a long-held desire for both patients and many in the biomedical research and development area. Rare diseases are often very severe, genetically driven illnesses with high morbidity and mortality that place a large burden on families of patients and healthcare systems. Though these diseases are relatively rare the costs of medicines are high, even for the many that provide only marginal benefit. Gene and cell therapies provide an opportunity for a curative, single treatment for many of these devastating diseases, eliminating the need for chronic treatment.
Our Expertise
The ARDAT (Accelerating Research & Development for Advanced Therapies) project is founded on an international consortium of participants with compelling track records in the field of advanced therapies to create a ‘best-with-best’ multidisciplinary team of leading academic and EFPIA groups with complementary expertise in:
- Gene therapy
- Immunology
- Chemistry
- Engineering
- Biotechnology
- Drug safety
- Viral vector production
- Regulatory and clinical trials
