SIRION Biotech to present Viral Vector Know-How Hub to support Cell & Gene Therapy R&D at ESGCT 2022

Martinsried, Germany: – Viral technology specialist SIRION Biotech will use the upcoming 2022 annual congress of the influential European Society for Gene and Cell Therapy (ESGCT) in Edinburgh to unveil a significant ramping up of its knowledge and expertise support for gene and cell-based R&D.

SIRION has attended past ESGCT congresses, most recently in Barcelona, and will be a silver sponsor of the Edinburgh meeting.

Knowledge Hub

The SIRION exhibition stand at Booth 61 in the Edinburgh International Conference Center will have as its centerpiece the newly introduced SIRION Biotech Viral Vector Know-How Hub.

The Hub leverages knowledge gathered from SIRION’s own more than a decade experience in manufacturing across thousands of different viral vectors and scores of serotype variants, along with it active R&D collaborations and extensive network of KOL knowledge opinion leaders. The end result is a resource that can support every stage of viral vector development and application.

R&D support

Leading the SIRION presence in Edinburgh will be Dr. Francois Vromman, Senior Director and Head of Business Operations for Southern & Western Europe.

“Once again we are looking forward to attending a face-to-face ESGCT meeting that will provide an excellent platform for meeting gene and cell therapy researchers and developers and show them how we can support them,” said Dr. Vromman.
