Project

Cardiovascular and muscle-specific "targeting" for gene therapy of neuromuscular disorders (FWOAL690)

Gene therapy is the use of DNA as a drug to treat disease by delivering therapeutic DNA into a patient's cells. In this project we will implement cardiovascular and muscle-specific "targeting" for gene therapy of neuromuscular disorders.
