Gene therapy promises the possibility of replacing damaged and faulty disease-causing genes with functional copies, essentially rescuing disease-causing phenotypes and restoring individuals to health. At the heart of this technology are viral vectors, little vessels that leverage the evolutionary power of viruses to penetrate and shuttle genetic information into cells.
Manipulating viruses to carry genetically-modified gene copies and then producing large quantities of these viral carriers for gene therapy is no easy task. Before any gene therapy can make it to the clinic, its feasibility and success largely hinges on critical early steps in viral vector optimization and production. In this episode, we will explore the hurdles that researchers face in viral vector development and how one team overcame these challenges to produce a groundbreaking gene therapy for hemophilia.
