Gene Transfer and Gene Therapy Laboratory
The Gene Therapy Unit is focused on vector development and gene- and cell-based delivery to the central nervous system, including the eye. Experiments are directed towards application of these technologies to improve our understanding of degenerative diseases affecting these organ systems, and for potential therapeutic use.
