Such an insightful panel yesterday chatting about all things cell and gene therapy! The group covered the major challenges in developing a cell or gene therapy, where the opportunities for innovation within this process may be, and how we can keep costs in mind. The consensus was that the costs are so high NOT because of the how much it costs to develop and commercialize them, but rather because they have a different paradigm in which they capture value and that the prices reflect that difference. In terms of how to lower the prices? Well, the jury is still out on how to best crack that nut. I feel like I'm still dipping my toes into the cell and gene therapy space, so this was a great opportunity for me to learn more about it and to meet some of the people working on the newest technologies! Thanks to Foley & Lardner LLP and BIOTECH XYZ for hosting the event, and a shoutout to Ellen Horste, PhD, for her wonderful job moderating the panel!
