Guide to using AAV vectors in gene therapy

Drug Discovery World

In 2023, DDW hosted a webinar, ‘A comprehensive guide to using adeno-associated virus (AAV) vectors in gene therapy’, supported by Azenta Life Sciences. AAV is optimal for gene therapy due to its efficiency and safety in humans; however, AAV processes can present obstacles for researchers. Why are those important?

STAT+: Gene therapy can transform life for people with hemophilia. But some patients don’t want it.

STAT News

He tested positive for HIV and hepatitis C when he was 11 after catching the viruses from contaminated blood-clotting products. Wiseman, 51, who lives near Sacramento, was diagnosed as an infant with hemophilia, the rare genetic disease that prevents blood from clotting. Continue to STAT+ to read the full story…
