With the goal of treating and curing disease, gene and cell therapy provide treatment by means of altering a person's genetic code and transferring live cells to improve symptoms and reduce levels of disease-causing proteins.
One would think that getting the diagnosis after fifteen years would end the journey. How does your work at the bench affect patients and how can you change lives through cell therapy? ...
