A report produced by the Chamber of Commerce for Greater Philadelphia, “Leading the Way: Cell and Gene Therapy in Greater Philadelphia, Sector Snapshot 2024” describes the remarkable growth trajectory of the Greater Philadelphia region in the cell and gene therapy (CGT) sector over the past decade to emerge as a widely recognized global leader in this field.
The report highlights Penn’s significant contributions to the growth of the CGT sector in Greater Philadelphia, including spinning out over 40 CGT companies since 2018.
