Actors and Networks database
The evolving field of gene and cell therapy is supported by a large community of academic, clinical, translational, regulatory and patient organisations. The Actors and Networks database maps these stakeholders in Europe and beyond, their activities, and resources they have produced.
EuroGCT has developed and compiled this database for those interested in identifying the actors involved at each stage of the pathways bringing gene and cell therapies from lab to clinic. Coming from an academic perspective, our focus is to map information that has not been mapped elsewhere. This includes documenting the various types of interconnected regulators, patient groups actively involved along the pathways, and non-profit organisations devoted to therapy development. In its first iteration, this database does not yet include commercial partners and service providers.
Additional complementary work by other organisations on GCT stakeholders mapping can be found here.
