Vancouver – November 03, 2026 -- The International Society for Cell & Gene Therapy (ISCT) is renaming its Institute of Training & Development the ISCT Academy of Training & Development, three years after the program launched in 2023.
ISCT CEO Queenie Jang said the program has outgrown the institute label and that the new name reflects its scale and global reach.
ISCT earned ANSI accreditation for workforce training in 2024
In 2024, ISCT became the first cell and gene therapy (CGT) organization accredited by the ANSI National Accreditation Board for workforce development and training. The accreditation confirms that its programs meet internationally recognized standards. ISCT President Daniel J. Weiss called it a defining milestone reached in a relatively short period.
