Interview Questions
Q1.

Please tell us about your clinical experience. How many patients have you had go through gene therapy? What has the experience been like, from their perspective, and yours?

Q2.

Can you walk us through the following gene therapy techniques:-Gene augmentation therapy-Gene inhibition therapy-Killing of specific cellsWhat’s the use case where each of those would make sense?

Q3.

In 2020, 6 cell and gene therapy programs were forced to delay their development timelines after the FDA asked for more information about their production processes. How important is this aspect in your opinion?

Added By: catalin_admin
Q4.

Could you discuss any of the following gene therapy variations: tumour suppressor, suicide, antiangiogenesis, inflammatory cytokine and micro-RNA genes, new vectors such as oncolytic viruses, and the synergy between viral gene therapy, chemotherapy and radiation therapy?

Added By: catalin_admin
Q5.

 The FDA predicts that by 2025 10 to 20 cell and gene therapies will get approved every year. Considering that about 5% of the roughly 7,000 rare diseases have an FDA-approved drug, how well do you think the companies active in this space can adapt to those unmet needs?
