Sangamo BioSciences, Inc. (Nasdaq: SGMO) announced that data from clinical, preclinical and research-stage programs focused on the development of ZFP Therapeutics^® will be presented at the 18th Annual Meeting of the American Society of Gene and Cell Therapy (ASGCT). Twelve oral and six poster presentations, given by Sangamo scientists and their academic collaborators, will detail data from Sangamo's therapeutic and research programs including HIV/AIDS, hemoglobinopathies, lysosomal storage disorders, and other monogenic diseases, cancer immunotherapy and advancements in technology including delivery. Additionally, members of Sangamo's management team and Company scientists will participate in the C-Suite Executive Panel and two Education Sessions. The meeting will be held in New Orleans, LA, from May 13-16, 2015.

"Our ZFP Therapeutic platform features prominently at this year's ASGCT Annual Meeting, the premier forum for the field of gene and cell therapy, with Sangamo-authored presentations selected for the Presidential Symposium as well as the Clinical Trials Spotlight," said Edward Lanphier, Sangamo's president and CEO. "Data will be presented from our clinical and preclinical studies demonstrating the specificity, versatility and maturity of Sangamo's powerful ZFN genome editing platform across a wide range of therapeutic applications."

The following presentations are scheduled at the ASGCT Meeting sessions:
