Grant Activity:
Creation of human cardiac specific adeno-associated virus gene therapy vectors using a humanized rodent heart
Purpose:
Progress in gene therapy for heart disease has been limited despite strong predictions of success from pre-clinical models. Much of the barrier to translation is due to the unexpectedly poor performance of the the gene transfer technology in human hearts. To overcome this barrier this project will use Darwinian-like evolution in the laboratory to create vectors selected for their outstanding ability to efficiently deliver therapy to human hearts enabling a breakthrough platform for gene therapy.
