Research Labs

Arun Srivastava Lab

Dr. Srivastava’s research has been focused on the following two parvoviruses, the non-pathogenic adeno-associated virus (AAV), and a common human pathogen, the parvovirus B19, and the development of recombinant parvovirus vectors in human gene therapy.

Brad Hoffman Lab

Dr. Hoffman is an Associate Professor and cellular immunologist with a major interest in immune modulation and tolerance induction using adeno-associated virus (AAV) gene therapy. Dr. Hoffman earned his Ph.D. in Immunology from Temple University School of Medicine in 2006. He subsequently performed postdoctoral research in gene therapy at University of Florida.

Sergei Zolotukhin Lab

The primary mission is to merge molecular genetics research and health care by developing new therapeutic strategies involving gene transfer. The idea of gene therapy is a logical and natural progression of the last 20 years of research in medical genetics and molecular biology.
