Welcome to the Flotte Lab for Gene Therapy  

 

Our Lab

Gene therapy treatment for genetic diseases that affect children

Our lab is currently investigating the use of gene therapy for genetic diseases that affect children, including cystic fibrosis, alpha-1 antitrypsin (AAT) deficiency, type I diabetes, and disorders of fatty acid oxidation. We are studying adeno-associated virus (AAV) vectors and the mechanisms of AAV persistence, since these represent the basis for a more profound understanding of the potential for long-term safe and effective gene therapy. We are currently conducting Phase I trials with rAAV expressing alpha-1antitrypsin in AAT-deficient patients.
