The American Society of Gene Therapy 9th annual meeting, held May 31 to June 4, 2006, in Baltimore (Maryland, U.S.A.), focused on several aspects of gene transfer technology, such as vector development of a wide variety of gene delivery systems, stem cell research, gene expression, engineering of cell and animal models for the study of several pathological conditions, genetic immunization procedures, immunogenicity of vectors and transgenes, insertional mutagenesis and last, but not least, clinical and preclinical studies. Some advances were reported in the field of gene transfer technology; however, safety issues, such as insertional mutagenesis, and improvement of vector design remain at the top of the agenda of gene therapists.
美国基因治疗协会第九届年会于2006年5月31日至6月4日在美国马里兰州巴尔的摩举行，会议聚焦于基因转移技术的多个方面，如多种基因递送系统的载体开发、干细胞研究、基因表达、用于多种病理状况研究的细胞和动物模型工程、基因免疫程序、载体和转基因的免疫原性、插入诱变，最后但同样重要的是临床和临床前研究。基因转移技术领域有一些进展报告；然而，诸如插入诱变等安全问题以及载体设计的改进仍然是基因治疗师议程的首要事项。
