Cell & Gene Therapy

Expert support throughout the research and development process.

What is Cell and Gene Therapy?

Cell and gene therapy are innovative fields of medicine that aim to treat, prevent, or potentially cure diseases—especially those with genetic origins—by targeting the root causes at the cellular or genetic level.

Cell Therapy involves the transfer of specific cells into a patient to repair or replace damaged tissues or cells. These cells can be:

  • Autologous (from the patient)
  • Allogeneic (from a donor).

Gene Therapy focuses on modifying or replacing faulty genes within a patient’s cells. This can be done:

  • In vivo (directly inside the body)
  • Ex vivo (outside the body, then reintroduced)

Expert Clinical Trial Support

Clinical trials for cell and gene therapies (CGTs) present a distinct set of challenges due to the complexity, novelty, and regulatory sensitivity of these advanced modalities. Versiti, the premier partner in clinical trial support is uniquely positioned to support research and further manufacturing for patients awaiting these innovative therapies.
