Viral Vectors in Gene Therapy and CRISPR Delivery


Listen Later

What if we could send genetic instructions directly into cells — to cure diseases at their source?

In this podcast, we explore the rapidly advancing world of viral vectors, gene therapy, and CRISPR delivery systems, where engineered viruses become precision tools for rewriting DNA and treating previously incurable conditions.


Each episode unpacks the latest breakthroughs in:

• AAV, lentiviral, and adenoviral vectors

• CRISPR/Cas9, base editors, and prime editing delivery

• targeting specific tissues with engineered capsids

• immune evasion strategies and vector optimization

• non-viral delivery innovations (LNPs, exosomes, polymer nanocarriers)

• real clinical cases in cancer, retinal disease, hemophilia, and rare genetic disorders


We dive deep into how scientists design safer, more efficient delivery systems; how viruses are transformed into therapeutic vehicles; and how CRISPR is enabling a new era of precise, long-lasting genetic cures.


Perfect for students, researchers, and biotech enthusiasts, this podcast takes you into the labs where the next generation of therapies is being built — molecule by molecule, vector by vector.
