Look for keystone conference - this link is a pain in the ass so you have to search through and you will get eventually page with text below. I believe that the ED gene therapy presentation is either a poster or late accepted talk hence you will not find it on this programme.

Return to 1999 Keystone Symposia

Molecular and Cellular Biology of Gene Therapy (A4)
Doubletree Hotel, Salt Lake City, Utah · January 14 - January 20, 1999
Organizers: Bonnie W. Ramsey, Mark Kay, Malcolm Brenner and Alan Smith
Sponsored by Berlex Biosciences
Abstract Deadline: September 15, 1998 · Early Registration: November 13, 1998

Summary

The goal of this conference is to highlight progress in both molecular and cellular biology,
clinical studies to establish a basic framework for clinical trial development in human gene
therapy. The results of recent clinical trails will be presented. Major barriers to human studies,
including limitation of current vectors, host immune response, stem cell biology and disease
pathogenesis will be discussed. The meeting will bring together basic scientists and clinical
investigators to face these challenges. The program will focus on innovative technologies in
vector development (novel vectors, combination chemistry, anti-sense ribozyme technology),
vector-host interactions, challenges of clinical trial development, genetic diseases, stem cell
biology, vascular diseases, CNS disorders, AIDS, cancer, and vaccine development. Each
session will highlight the basic science, preclinical studies and review current clinical trials.
