In case you missed it, after ten wonderful years at our previous location in Angel Gate, we have officially moved into our new office in Holborn!

He has made a seminal contribution to the development of cell and gene therapies, including pioneering work that led to the world’s first approved gene therapy for an inherited retinal disease.

A founding member of FPM, Professor Boyd has played a pivotal role in shaping the specialty in the UK.
