Gene Therapy and Pharmacokinetics

Camargo

It is a comprehensive term which encompasses a large variety of therapy products including viral and bacterial vectors, plasmid DNA, human gene editing technology, and patient-specific cellular gene therapy. Additionally, gene editing allows us either to remove or to modify harmful genes. Gene Expression Considerations.

Personalised mRNA cancer vaccine prolongs survival in melanoma

Drug Discovery World

Vaccine strategies over the last 25 years attempted to induce immune responses against tumour-associated antigens that are not absolutely specific to the tumour,” said presenting author Jeffrey Weber, Deputy Director of the NYU Langone Perlmutter Cancer Center and Laura and Isaac Perlmutter Professor of Oncology at NYU Grossman School of Medicine.

The evolution of the RNA therapeutics landscape 

Drug Discovery World

Beard Distinguished Professor of Experimental Surgery and the Founding Director of the Translational Research Institute at Duke University, explores the rise of RNA therapeutics. With high-throughput RNA sequencing, it is evident the majority of RNAs in human cells are not actually messengers.

What spatial biology can tell us about disease and drug discovery

Drug Discovery World

RA: With spatial biology being cross-disciplinary – in that it uses techniques in both gene expression analysis and immunofluorescence – is expertise in the field limited? Spatial omics offers a new way of understanding these systems by providing a holistic view of healthy and diseased cells, pathogens, and the immune response.

Delivering on the promise of gene editing

Drug Discovery World

As gene editing technologies like CRISPR progress toward clinical study, researchers must continue to advance new approaches and address inherent challenges, explains Jon Chesnut, PhD, Senior Director, Cell Biology R&D, Thermo Fisher Scientific. In one example, Choi et al.
