Upcoming Events
September 16-17, 2026 - 3rd Annual Symposium
This year, the GTI is partnering with California Life Sciences (CLS) and the California Institute for Regenerative Medicine (CIRM) to create a two-day cell and gene therapy program. Each organization brings distinct expertise to the field: UC San Diego GTI in translational gene therapy research and CLS and CIRM in commercialization, regenerative medicine funding, and the policy and industry networks shaping California's life sciences ecosystem.
Each day stands on its own, so participants can choose to attend one or attend both for a discounted price. The program is built for everyone working in this space across Southern California, across therapeutics, manufacturing, research, capital, and the legal and policy infrastructure that supports the field.
Day one, Sept 16, hosted by UC San Diego GTI, features academic and industry leaders showcasing cutting-edge cell-based safety models, ex vivo and in vivo genetic therapy technologies, and bold bench-to-bedside strategies.
