New route into cells could make gene therapies safer

Researchers from the Centenary Institute, in collaboration with the University of Sydney, have developed a powerful new tool to evolve proteins directly within mammalian cells, offering a more effective way to design medical treatments tailored to the human body.

Centenary Institute researcher Dr Alex Cole has been awarded a $100,000 Ramaciotti Health Investment Grant to support his research into improving the safety and precision of gene therapy treatments.
