"Targeted In Vivo Gene Delivery Via Tropism Modified Adenoviral Vectors - A Ten Year Quest for the Holy Grail"

TUESDAY, JANUARY 24 AT 2:30 PM AT THE SVM AUDITORIUM


Dr. Curiel is visiting the LSU campus to explore collaborative research and development opportunities with BIOMMED and the Emerging Technologies Center

In addition to his multiple research activities, which are funded by NIH, Dr. Curiel is the founder of Vector Logics, Inc., a company that specializes in the use of adenoviral vectors for various gene therapy treatments.

Dr. Curiel's Research Interests

My current research interest relates to the development of vector systems for the achievement of targeted, cell-specific gene delivery. This central field mandate is being addressed via the development of adenoviral vector systems, which embody genetic capsid modifications allowing tropism modification. In addition, the parallel study of the biologic dictates of adenovirus entry is currently being endeavored.

Tropism modification via genetic capsid modification is based upon rigorous biologic characterization of vector/target cell interaction. Further, structure/function analysis of the viral capsid protein provides the basis of engineered alterations for tropism modification. At the cellular level, study of native viral receptors involves characterizing the dictates of tropism in vitro and in vivo with respect to described Ad receptors. In addition, cloning of cryptic receptors is being endeavored to identify novel Ad receptors.
