Gene & Cell Therapy Grants

The Gene & Cell Therapy Grants aim to position NSW as a global leader, supporting projects to:

• Reduce the time between gathering evidence of effective treatments to delivering those treatments at scale
• Deliver innovative therapies rapidly, efficiently and effectively
• Engage commercial and industry partners early to rapidly scale up therapies found to be effective
• Build workforce and infrastructure capacity and capability in NSW for research and development.

Gene and Cell Therapy PhD Program

The NSW Gene & Cell Therapy PhD Program awards funding for candidates to conduct research in gene and cell therapy development and manufacture under academic supervision. The objectives of the Program are to:

• attract high quality PhD students that strengthen successful gene and cell therapy research programs
• build workforce skills in the development and manufacture of gene and cell therapies in NSW
• create new opportunities for PhD students to study the development and manufacture of advanced therapeutics
• improve graduate understanding of the diversity of employment opportunities in the NSW advanced therapeutics sector
• improve graduate understanding of the commercialisation pathway for these therapies to support closer engagement with industry.
