This award supports research on the spatial and epigenetic regulation of AAV2 localization and persistence, aiming to enhance gene therapy vector development by understanding AAV2 genome behavior in host cells.
Description
A project funded by the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) to study the mechanisms of Adeno-Associated Virus type 2 (AAV2) genome localization, recombination, and episome formation to improve gene therapy vectors. The research involves molecular virology, chromatin biology, DNA repair mechanisms, and gene therapy vector development.
