To recognise outstanding written communication by the scientific community we are once again running our BSGCT Science Writing Competition and invite you to submit your entry!

​

To enter you will need to submit an original piece of writing on anything related to gene and cell therapy to media@bsgct.org. This could be based on your own or someone else’s research or focus on a general topic of interest related to Gene and Cell Therapy.

​

The Science Writing Competition is open now and closes on the 30th of September 2022.

​
