What to Expect at the 5th In Vivo Cell Engineering & Gene Editing Summit
The 5th In Vivo Cell Engineering & Gene Editing Summit is the only congress that brings together the researchers, translational leaders, and strategic decision-makers driving the next stage of in vivo innovation and ex vivo transitions.
Designed for teams navigating real scientific and operational challenges, the meeting offers a focused environment to explore delivery engineering, early clinical signals, CMC scale‑up, and global development pathways with peers facing the same obstacles.
Over three days, attendees will have access to detailed case studies, collaborative problem‑solving sessions, and open discussions that delve into practical questions about targeting, off‑tissue activity, manufacturability, and regulatory readiness. With curated networking, working groups, and the new Partnerships Mixer, the summit makes it easy to connect with biotechs, pharma, and solution providers advancing programs worldwide.
Whether advancing in vivo programs or exploring how to pivot an established ex vivo platform, this is where developers benchmark strategies, refine their direction, and move forward with clarity.
The Summit Will Cover:
Targeting & Delivery Deep Dives
Gain practical insight into how developers are selecting, optimizing, and comparing delivery vehicles across LNPs, VLPs, LVVs, and emerging nonviral platforms, with real examples of biodistribution, payload performance, and extrahepatic targeting.
Translational Strategies Grounded in Real Data
Explore how teams are interpreting early human signals, biomarker readouts, immune kinetics, and safety observations to refine dose selection, adjust monitoring plans, and strengthen IND enabling evidence.
CMC, Scale-Up & Platform Guidance
Hear from experts tackling the operational side of in vivo development, including analytical readiness, comparability expectations, vector and LNP manufacturing, and the practical steps needed to move from early research toward clinical supply.
Global Development Intelligence
Understand how developers are shaping multinational strategies across the US, Europe, and Asia, including investigator-initiated trial (IIT) design, regulatory touchpoints, site selection, and the operational considerations that influence speed and cost.
What's New for 2026?
Dedicated Spotlight on Global In Vivo Clinical Development
A full workshop exploring global clinical development strategies, from regional regulatory pathways and manufacturing scale-up to early clinical data across the US, Europe, Asia, and emerging markets.
New Investor & M&A Insights
Fresh discussions on valuation drivers, differentiation, and the dealmaking trends shaping the in vivo competitive landscape.
Enhanced Networking Format
The introduction of the Partnerships Mixer and more facilitated discussion sessions to help attendees build commercially meaningful relationships.
Industry Momentum is Building
Pharma’s surge into in vivo cell engineering and gene editing products has pushed the field to a potential inflection point. With over $7.3B in in vivo acquisitions in the past year, alongside first-in-human signals and rapid modality diversification, momentum is accelerating. Companies are expanding pipelines, speeding up clinical timelines, and competing to develop in vivo platforms that can scale globally.
The field is now expanding beyond traditional indications with more assets targeting solid tumors and autoimmune diseases, enabling access to wider patient and commercial opportunities.
For many organizations, this raises a critical question: when is the right time to define an in vivo strategy? While some teams consider this shift later in development, the pace of innovation and competition means early strategic alignment is becoming essential. Engaging with the latest data, delivery approaches, and peer benchmarks now allows teams to make more informed decisions before key development paths are locked in.
