Guide to using AAV vectors in gene therapy

Drug Discovery World

In 2023, DDW hosted a webinar, ‘A comprehensive guide to using adeno-associated virus (AAV) vectors in gene therapy’, supported by Azenta Life Sciences. Questions were fielded from the audience, which included: What analysis will be performed to evaluate host or other DNA contamination? Why are those important?

But as we pored over the photos and learned more about Sebastian’s journey, a far more interesting story emerged: one about the role of amateur science. ” Before the 19th century, virtually all science was amateur science. For the next 15 years, I hit my head against the wall trying to make science happen.

This method was more about serendipity than science. But as molecular biology has advanced, so too has our approach to finding new drugs. In the early 20th century, the discovery process was largely random , focused on cytotoxic agents that kill cells by disrupting key cellular functions like DNA replication.
