Division of Cellular & Molecular Therapy Department of Pediatrics in the College of Medicine

Welcome!

The Division of Cellular and Molecular Therapy consists of a group of investigators having shared interests in both basic molecular biology of AAV, the development of next generation of AAV vectors, and the clinical application of these vectors for the treatment of human disease. Our team bridges the gap from bench to bedside and represent a world renowned reference point for ideas and materials relevant to application of AAV vectors in basic science research and clinical trials on campus as well as elsewhere throughout the scientific community.
