Research Interest

The innate and adaptive immune responses to HDAd. These important studies will provide information regarding the host-vector interactions which will be very useful for further improving the safety and efficacy of HDAd-mediated gene therapy.

Liver-directed gene therapy using HDAd to treat a wide variety of genetic disease such as hemophilia, Crigler-Najjar syndrome, cardiovascular disease, alpha 1-antitrypsin deficiency.
