As gene therapies evolve beyond AAV to include mRNA, CRISPR-based platforms, and novel capsids, analytical strategies must advance in parallel to meet rising complexity and regulatory expectations. With increased pressure for analytical rigor, potency relevance, and product consistency, the need for robust, forward-thinking solutions is more urgent than ever. The 7th Gene Therapy Analytical Development Summit returns to Boston this October as the industry’s most comprehensive event dedicated to analytical excellence across the gene therapy development lifecycle-from early research through to BLA submission and commercial readiness. This year’s summit will deliver practical, data-driven insights on validating potency assays and genome integrity analytics across diverse delivery platforms to ensure consistency, safety, and regulatory compliance. Attendees will explore solutions to persistent challenges in full/empty capsid quantification, aggregation profiling, and stability assay design, focusing on enhancing product quality and minimizing batch failures.
