Meet The Expert: Steve Gray and Kiran Musunuru

In the second video of the Meet the Expert Webinar Series, Drs. Steve Gray and Kiran Musunuru share their experience and tips for preparing an IND application for gene therapy.

Meet the Expert is a webinar series presented by the Somatic Cell Genome Editing (SCGE) Consortium. This series aims to connect researchers within the consortium and the greater scientific community with experts in the gene therapy space.

SCGE Releases Gene Therapy Trial Browser

The SCGE has created a Gene Therapy Clinical Trial Browser. This publicly accessible, free database was created for the benefit of users seeking information on gene therapy development. The information within integrates various sources to give a comprehensive overview of the gene therapy clinical trial landscape.

SCGE Spring 2025 Meeting

The SCGE Consortium met for an in-person meeting in Phoenix, AZ. The event was full of great presentations and discussions. Check out a photo recap of the event below.

SCGE Meet the Researcher Video Series

The TCDC is creating a video series where we interview different members that are part of Phase 2 of the SCGE Consortium. You can find these videos on our website or on the SCGE YouTube channel.

NIH TARGETED Challenge Phase 2 Winners Announced

The winners of Phase 2 of the NIH TARGETED Challenge were recently announced. The TARGETED Challenge is a competition to improve technologies for delivering genome editing tools to cells in the body. 

Program Snapshot

The goal of the SCGE program is to accelerate the development of genome editing therapies into the clinic. For Phase 2, there are four program initiatives:

1. Developing technologies and assays for safety and efficacy studies
2. Optimizing genome editing-based therapeutic leads to support advancement towards clinical trials
3. Supporting novel genome editing clinical trials for more than one disease
4. Fostering collaboration and sharing new technologies and protocols with the public and research community

For ethical, legal, and safety reasons, the SCGE program does NOT support any research activities on genome editing in reproductive (germ) cells.
