The Aslanidi Lab research is focused on bioengineering and application of Adeno-Associated virus (AAV) vectors for purpose of gene therapy and vaccine development. The research addresses several important drawbacks in AAV-based gene therapy such as vector efficiency, pre-existing and therapy-activated immunogenicity, scaled up vector production, assessment of efficacy in the large pre-clinical animal models, such as dogs, pigs, and NHP. The goal of our research to ensure an advancement of gene therapy treatment for patients with genetic diseases and cancers.
