 * Development and/or characterization of novel gene therapies and cell and/or extracellular vesicle (EV)-based therapeutics.
 * Design of novel therapeutic approaches employing cell/EV/gene products.
 * Mode of action of cell/EV/gene therapies in relevant cell-based and pre-clinical models.
 * Identification of novel biomarkers that predict the potency of cell/EV/gene therapies and/or stratify patients based on response rates.
 * Role of stem/stromal cells and/or EVs in disease pathophysiology.
 * Early and late phase clinical studies evaluating the safety and efficacy of cell/EV/gene therapies.
 * Important advances in cell/EV/gene-based product manufacturing and validation.
 * Global/regional regulatory practices that impact the authorized use and/or regulatory approval of cell/EV and gene therapies.
