The Mueller Lab for Gene Therapy announces that 5 abstracts have been accepted for presentations at the upcoming ASGCT meeting.

Christian Mueller, PhD, said “We are making steady progress in both our gene editing research programs to treat Alpha-1 Antitrypsin Deficiency and Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis, furthermore we have completed the IND-enabling studies for our gene silencing program for SOD1-linked ALS and we are looking forward to our ‘first in human’ use of this therapy.”
