Predstavitev SIS EGIZ (SIH EEIG) v okviru projekta GeneH – čezmejnega Excellence Hub-a za pospeševanje inovacij v genski terapiji, financiranega iz Horizon Europe (Portugalska - Slovenija).
GeneH (Excellence Hub for Advancing Innovation in Gene Therapy) gradi mostove med akademijo, industrijo, javnimi institucijami in družbo (4-helix model) z jasnim ciljem: da pospeši pot genske terapije od raziskav do pacientov – varno, odgovorno in z mislijo na boljšo dostopnost.
V GeneH kot ekosistemski partner prispevamo k:
✔️ povezovanju deležnikov in gradnji močne 4-helix mreže,
✔️prenosu znanja in tehnologij ter odpiranju sodelovanj,
✔️podpori “from research to patients” pristopu: regulatorna in etična priprava, razvoj kompetenc ter krepitev inovacijskega okolja.
Gene therapy across borders. Building bridges in gene therapy – from research to patients.
