... SESSION I: CURRENT LANDSCAPE AND LESSONS LEARNED Objectives: • Provide an overview of the current landscape of gene-targeted therapy approaches for central nervous system disorders. • Explore lessons learned from gene and ASO therapies that have achieved Food and Drug Administration approval -- including trans lation plans and which animal models were used in pre­linical c ­ tudies, use of dog models for RPE65, role of natural history ­ tudies s s for SMA therapy, and other lessons learned in translation to clinical development.

... • Discuss what it takes to move beyond monogenetic disorders to develop gene therapy approaches for common, heterogeneous dis orders such as Alzheimer's and Parkinson's diseases. • Examine key challenges such as: o  cell type-specific transduction; CNS o  Regulation of viral gene expression to optimize safety and efficacy; and o  Capsid engineering to improve tissue-specific targeting and blood–brain barrier penetration.
