The Virology and Gene Therapy Program offers you a highly productive, interactive research environment in which to develop as an independent investigator. Enthusiastic faculty members have primary interests in virology, viral vectors and gene therapy. These areas overlap with the fields of biochemistry, cell and molecular biology, genetics and immunology.

Some current areas of research:

  • Molecular mechanism of viral replication

  • Virus-cell interactions

  • Viral pathology and immunopathology

  • Virotherapy and immune-based therapies for cancer

  • Targeted viral vectors

  • Gene therapy of cardiovascular diseases

  • Gene therapy of hematological malignancies

  • Xenotransplantation
