Episode #7: Large Viruses as Gene Therapy Platforms
Dr. Lauren Oldfield, Director of Synthetic Genomics, Replay
April 17, 2023
In this episode, we discuss efforts to develop large DNA viruses, such as herpesviruses, as vectors to deliver gene therapies, including advantages over other types of pathogen platforms. Notably, large viruses enable the delivery of larger genes for therapeutic purposes, and the characteristics of herpes simplex viruses (HSV) can allow gene therapies to be delivered over longer periods of time.
