|
|
Center for Gene Therapy, University of Michigan Medical Center, Ann Arbor
The Center fosters a multidisciplinary approach to new research as well as collaborative research endeavors in the area of gene therapy. The Vector Core manufactures several recombinant viral vectors.
|
|
Dep. of Gene and Cell Medicine, Mount Sinai School of Medicine, New York
The research is focused on various aspects of gene therapy, such as understanding basic virology, efficient gene delivery into the nucleus of cells, and incorporation of these genes into the genome.
|
|
Gene Therapy Center, University of Alabama, Birmingham
Dr. Curiel heads the center and is engaged in advancing the application of gene transfer methods for treatment of human disease. The efforts are focused on the development of improved vectors to accomplish targeted, cell-specific delivery.
|
|
Gene Therapy Center, University of North Carolina School of Medicine
Research in the laboratory has centered on the molecular biology of adeno-associated virus (AAV) in order to exploit the unique features of this virus to develop an efficient viral vector system for use in human gene therapy.
|
|
Harvard Gene Therapy Initiative, Harvard University, Boston
The Harvard Gene Therapy Initiative is headed by Dr. Richard Mulligan with the objective of promoting the use of gene therapy and to conduct research developing new gene delivery vector technologies.
|
|
Iowa Center for Gene Therapy, University of Iowa, Iowa City
Diseases of the lung, cardiovascular system, muscles, brain, and skin are focus areas of research as well as the development of gene therapy vectors and the identification of disease-causing genes.
|
|
MD Anderson Cancer Center, University of Texas, Houston
The major goals of the Innovative Cancer Therapies Program will be to enhance communication and collaboration among investigators and to develop new funding opportunities.
|
|
Minnesota University, Molecular and Cellular Therapeutics Program
The program has brought together regulatory, quality, product development, manufacturing and facilities engineering expertise to enable the translation of novel, experimental research into medicine for use in human clinical trials.
|
|
Penn Vector Core, University of Pennsylvania, Philadelphia
Penn Vector offers a variety of services associated with the development and production of both non-viral vectors and viral vectors including those derived from adeno-associated virus (AAV), adenovirus, and lentivirus.
|
|
Powell Gene Therapy Center, University of Florida, Gainesville
The primary mission is to merge molecular genetics research and health care delivery by developing new therapeutic strategies for the treatment of human diseases that involve gene transfer.
