Dear Colleagues,

We are excited to announce the upcoming event, Cell Therapy International Conference & Workshop Series, 'Series on Advancements in Cell Therapy' (SACT), an activity of the CAR-T & Cell Therapy Centre (CTCTC) at ACTREC, Tata Memorial Centre, that played a pivotal role in bringing India's first Cell-Gene therapy to fruition. This educational activity was first initiated on 6^th Jan 2023 to unprecedented responses from the scientific, healthcare, regulatory, industry and patient advocacy communities, that only grew in the 2^nd event on 29^th-30^th Sept 2023 & 3^rd event on 2^nd-3^rd Feb 2024 so much that now in its 4^th edition it has become the defining Cell & Gene Therapy related event in India and indeed this part of the world.

As you are aware, 'Series on Advancements in Cell Therapy' (SACT), has emerged as a pivotal platform in India, propelling the Cell Therapy Industry to the forefront, garnering global attention for its advancements in new therapies, research and development, and manufacturing in just one year since its inauguration. The inaugural SACT event and its sequels witnessed resounding success, drawing over 500 on-site delegates each and earning positive acclaim from stakeholders in the Cell Therapy community, spanning across academia and industry.

Looking ahead, the 4^th SACT, planned for 7^th - 9^th March 2025, is envisioned to be one of the largest International Cell Therapy Meetings in the Asia-Pacific Region for 2025, and has now subsequently transitioned into an annual event thereby becoming a steadfast source of education, innovation, networking and collaboration in the field of Cell Therapy in India and the Asia-Pacific Region.

Being the first of its kind in India, an Academic-Industry meeting focused on bridging the gap and facilitating further collaborations, it also presents a compelling opportunity for prospective Cell Therapy investors and companies to not only participate but also cultivate a vested interest in the burgeoning Indian Cell Therapy market.
