Grant Activity:
Pancreatic transdifferentiation of human hepatocytes using a self-inactivating lentiviral vector
Purpose:
Somatic gene therapy is one of the strategies that is being considered to cure Type I diabetes. Specifically, we wish to engineer liver cells to replace beta cell function. The aim of this project is to design a clinically-applicable protocol for the reversal of diabetes using a third generation lentiviral vector that delivers genes to human livers with high efficiency showing long term expression without pathogenicity and immunogenicity following a simple intra-peritoneal injection.
