Research Labs
Shannone E. Boye Lab
The focus of our research is developing viral vector-based gene replacement strategies for the treatment of inherited ocular disease.
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.
Geoff Keeler Lab
Our lab is focused on developing an adeno-associated virus (AAV) based therapy for the treatment of demyelination in Multiple Sclerosis. We are also interested in understanding the immune responses associated with AAV administration.
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.
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.
