Gene Therapy for Hemophilia

In this podcast, Dr. Jerry Teitel explores how gene therapy for hemophilia A and hemophilia B might be delivered to patients across Canada in an equitable way, even though the administration will occur in only some sites. He describes the follow-up that is required in the critical months following administration to get the best results possible. Dr. Teitel is a Professor of Medicine at the University of Toronto, and Medical Director of the Hemophilia Treatment Program at St. Michael’s Hospital in Toronto, Ontario.
