Beware the Unfamiliar Approach: Preclinical Implications for Novel Cell & Gene Therapies

Blog, Cardiology & Cardiothoracic, GCMI, orthopedic, Pediatric, Physician Innovators, Preclinical CRO Excellence, Regenerative Medicine, spine, T3

Roughly one decade ago, scientists made significant improvements in viral vectors’ ability to deliver genetic therapeutics. Those therapies use genetic material like DNA to manipulate a patients’ own cells. Cellular (cell) therapies transfer cells into the patient whether they are the patients’ own cells or cells derived from another location or donor cells.    Because…
