Welcome to the Virtual Centre for Gene and Cell Therapy Hannover!
The Centre for Gene and Cell Therapy (CGaCT) is coordinating scientific and clinical activities in the field of cell and gene therapy at Hannover Medical School. At MHH, gene and cell therapy comprises the following approaches: in vivo gene therapy, therapies using genetically modified cells, therapies based on induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) and their derivatives, therapies with small molecules, protein- or RNA-based therapies, and cell therapies.
