6 | WELCOME ADDRESS
WELCOME ADDRESSOn behalf of the European Society of Cell and Gene Therapy and the Local Organising Committee it is my pleasure to welcome you to Brighton for the XIXth Annual Congress, which is being held this year in collaboration with the British Society for Gene Therapy.
The continued success of the annual conference mirrors the exciting developments in the field: each year we aim to offer a scientific programme that fully represents the variety of science and medicine under the joint umbrella of gene- and cell-based therapies, and we are delighted to welcome so many leading authorities to this year’s meeting. The theme for Brighton 2011 is “Letting the Science do the Talking” so you can expect a focus on cutting-edge science, translational research and the latest data from around the world. The rich and stimulating programme sees the contribution of 80 invited speakers, more than 50 selected oral presentations, and almost 400 poster presentations, and the high number of registrants is once again testimony to the quality and content of the meeting, as well as the organisation and international dimension.
With additional events for students, young scientists, industry, clinicians and principal investigators complemented by a programme of exciting social activities in a quintessentially English seaside town – famed for its stunning Royal Pavilion, elegant regency architecture, award winning restaurants and galleries – this Congress will provide a superb platform for international scientific interaction and knowledge transfer, and a unique opportunity to network with all the stakeholders in our dynamic and exciting field of research. By holding the Congress in a small, focussed area – with all hotels close to the conference centre – we are hoping to create a very friendly and interactive community feeling, perfect for building friendly relationships and collaborations. I hope that together we can continue to advance our scientific knowledge and build upon our existing excellence.
I look forward to sharing with you an outstanding and memorable scientific event. I would like to send my thanks and appreciation to all our contributors, sponsors and exhibitors, and to everyone who assisted with the Congress preparation and management, without whose commitment, enthusiasm and generosity this meeting would definitely not have been possible.
Len Seymour, ESGCT Congress President

Amsterdam Molecular Therapeutics (AMT) is the world leader in gene therapy. Our first product, Glybera, is a gene therapy for the treatment of lipoprotein lipase deficiency, an orphan genetic disorder. Glybera is filed for marketing approval with the European Medicines Agency; a decision is expected this summer. If approved, as expected, Glybera will become the first gene therapy available to patients in Europe. Subsequent filings and marketing approvals are expected in North America. Glybera approval validates gene therapy as therapeutic platform and opens the way for the development of many new gene therapy medicines. AMT is developing a pipeline of gene therapy products including treatments for hemophilia B, acute intermittent porphyria and Duchenne muscular dystrophy.

Getting around in BrightonWalking is one of the best ways to discover the city. People sometimes forget that Brighton is rich in heritage and simply bursting with stunning Regency architecture. Combine this with a compact, walkable city and you’ve got the perfect place for a walking tour.
You can download excellent walking maps and information from: www.visitbrighton.com/site/maps-guides-and-interactive/maps
The ‘Flavour of the Lanes’ walking tour gives a great taste of all that you should see, and is possible to do in chunks of time across the week: www.visitbrighton.com/site/maps-guides-and-interactive/walking-tours
LOCAL TAXISThe main city centre taxi ranks are in East Street, Queen’s Square and at the Rail Station.
Brighton and Hove Radio Cabs: 01273 204060City Cabs: 01273 205205Streamline Taxis: 01273 202020 / 747474
LOCAL BUSESBrighton and Hove Buses cover all areas of the city centre and beyond. ‘CitySAVER’ tickets offer unlimited travel on virtually all bus services in the city. If you wish to combine both train and bus travel, just ask for a ‘Plusbus’ ticket when buying your train ticket.
Increasing numbers of Gene Therapy studies report on therapeutic efficacy, in particular for the treatment of rare monogenetic diseases. However, the broader use of Gene Therapy concepts is currently precluded by the occurrence of adverse events. Understanding the basic mechanisms of vector-mediated gene delivery and cell modification will be key to improving the safety and also efficacy of Gene Therapy.
The Research Priority Program 1230 “Mechanisms of Gene Vector Entry and Persistence” of the German Research Council (DFG) was initiated in 2006 to address these core questions. Specifically, projects in the “Area Vector Fate” investigate aspects of early interaction between vectors and their target cells, such as vector entry, episomal persistence or chromosomal insertion of transgenes, while projects of the “Area Cell Fate” focus on deciphering the factors that determine the fate of gene-modified cells in the organism.
To comprehensively tackle these core research topics, projects belonging to the fields of virology, cell biology, haematology, bioinformatics and mathematical modelling were selected by an international board of reviewers. Coherence and timeliness of this multidisciplinary research consortium is further ensured by extensive internal and external networking, and through organisation and support of national and international congresses.

Morning jog, bicycling and sea kayakingIf you fancy swapping your lab coat for a pair of trainers, then Sunday morning will give you a chance to test yourself against your fellow delegates in a morning jog along the beach. If you aren’t so keen on running but still want to get out on the beach there will be sea kayaks or bicycles available for you to have a try of with the help of some local experts to show you how it’s done.
BIKE RENTALBrighton Sports Company is pleased to provide a bike rental service for our Congress delegates on Brighton and Hove seafront. The service adds a new dimension to the services on offer in one of the busiest beach resorts in the UK.

This is a great chance to get to chat with our exhibitors as well whose products can make a big difference to your work.
Good food, yes in England!We will be doing our best to bust those myths about English food by investing in a really delicious menu for the congress.
