Gene and Cell Therapy

Gene therapy is a field of biomedical research with the goal of influencing the course of various genetic and acquired (so-called multi factorial) diseases at the DNA/RNA level. Cell therapy aims at targeting various diseases at the cellular level, i.e. by restoring a certain cell population or using cells as carriers of therapeutic cargo. For many diseases, gene and cell therapy are applied in combination.

This includes the follows:

1. Gene Therapy
2. Cell Therapy
3. Genome Editing
4. Molecular Therapy
