The MAGNET: The Future of Cell & Gene Therapy
Breakthroughs, Setbacks, and What Comes Next. Can Switzerland Lead the Next Wave?
Basel is emerging as a global hub for Cell & Gene Therapy (CGT), attracting major investment and cutting-edge research. Yet despite breakthroughs, the field faces challenges—from regulatory uncertainty to high expectations and fluctuating investment.
Join us at the MAGNET 2025 to connect with leaders, investors and innovators shaping the next breakthroughs. Together, we’ll explore how Switzerland can lead the next wave of CGT.
Discover how to:
- Overcome scientific, regulatory, and commercial hurdles
- Sustain investment while managing expectations
- Redefine success in CGT beyond “cure vs. failure” to include broader measures of progress and impact
