Friends of Cancer Research (Friends) is hosting a free, advocates-focused webinar on June 11 to build on discussions from the Wednesday, May 6 public meeting on next-generation therapies. The webinar will focus on topics in cell and gene therapy development, including how modern regulatory approaches and innovative development frameworks can work together to accelerate patient access to safe and effective treatments.  

We encourage advocates to attend both the May 6 public meeting and the June 11 advocates webinar. While the public meeting will feature in-depth discussions on scientific, manufacturing, and regulatory considerations, the advocates webinar will translate these complex concepts into clear, actionable takeaways for advocates—highlighting key themes, clarifying outstanding questions, and emphasizing patient-focused next steps. Advocates who join the public meeting in May are encouraged to submit questions or topics for clarification in advance by clicking the button below.
