Overview of the Cell and Gene Therapy Hub

The Roswell Park Cell and Gene Therapy Hub in Buffalo, New York, is set to open in early 2025 and aims to become a significant player in cancer treatment. It is designed to bridge the gap known as the 'valley of death,' where preclinical research often fails to progress to clinical trials due to financial and operational challenges. This hub will provide the necessary infrastructure to translate scientific ideas into clinical applications, emphasizing the need for cell therapies to combat cancer more effectively. With a focus on collaboration, the hub aims to support both internal researchers and those from other institutions, positioning itself as a vital resource in cancer research and treatment.
