Sumario:AIM: Gene therapy is expected to improve patients' quality of life. Medical students need to be aware about this technology as its application is becoming wider. MATERIALS & METHODS: A web-based survey was conducted to measure the acceptance of Indonesian medical students regarding gene therapy. RESULTS: Data from 621 valid responses showed that Indonesian medical students have little knowledge of this technology, with 34.4% of them ever heard of gene therapy. However, most of them support the approved gene therapy for health-related matters, but not on the non-health related matters. Their acceptance was determined by the sex, domicile and studentship status. CONCLUSION: Increasing medical students' knowledge of gene therapy is important to minimize the future conflict of gene therapy application.
