Gene Therapy Resource
 The Gene Therapy Review is a new web resource for those interested in the therapeutic application of DNA. We describe the technology behind genetic engineering, cloning and stem cell therapy. Our pages contain a comprehensive database detailing all gene transfer technology currently the focus of a clinical trial. If you are a novice to gene therapy, you can learn the basics of human genetics and cloning in our educational pages. Our library also lists a number of published books on genetic engineering and stem cell therapy, and contains links to all the current issues of the gene therapy journals. For researchers we have plenty of resources, including a literature review, information on gene transfer vectors (plasmid and viral vectors) and technical pages containing information on commercial viral vector products. In our clinical trial section you can access the latest stem cell research and gene therapy trials, details on regulatory issues and information for patients. Whether you want to learn about gene therapy or are an expert in the field, these pages provide an excellent starting point to review the current status of activities in this area of human genetics.
FeaturesGene Therapy News All the breaking news in the gene therapy arena can be found in our news pages. You can read how the latest research will likely impact on the field in analysis. For those seeking employment in the sector, we have established a job bulletin board, where academics are invited to advertise for free. Gene Therapy Research We provide links to the home pages of all the academic research groups devoted to human genetics, gene therapy and stem cell research. In the companies section we detail the status of private sector DNA research. You can also follow their progress in our literature section where all the latest genetic engineering articles are listed Pharmaceutical and Biotechnology Industries We review the companies that are developing new gene transfer technologies and list the service providers that offer contract manufacturing or contract research to the field. Information on genetic disorders, cancer and infectious disease (current targets of gene therapy research) is also provided, with links to further reading on each topic. Laboratory Resource Our gene vector pages to learn more about gene transfer into human cells. We describe all the current techniques used for gene delivery. Our technical pages also serve as a source for all commerical gene transfer vectors. These pages have links to plasmid maps, DNA sequences and manuals. Gene Therapy Clinical Trials Our clinical trial section contains a database containing all the published results from current and past clinical trials. For those considering enrolling in a clinical trial, a list of patient resources is also provided where we focus on genetic disorders, cancer and infectious disease. The regulatory pages provide links to the interational bodies that control clinical trial research. Biomedical Literature Our literature section contains analysis of the latest articles published in the leading gene therapy journals. You can also search pubmed from this section. Activities of the various gene therapy societies are listed and we provide a calender of all the annual international scientific congresses focussing on human genetics. |
