CUREator grant awarded to advance gene therapy

L to R: Prof John Rasko, Dr Bijay Dhungal and Dr Chuck Bailey

A huge congratulations to Prof John Rasko, Dr Bijay Dhungal and Dr Chuck Bailey on receiving a $500,000 CUREator grant to develop new technology to improve the safe and effective delivery of gene therapy!

The gene therapy technology will be developed by the lab in a new start-up company called AAVec Bio, that will be dedicated to advancing adeno-associated virus (AAV) technology. This bioengineered virus technology, that serves as a vehicle to transport healthy genes to cells, will be used to potentially cure a diverse group of genetic diseases.
