it's gene therapy, so they would have to formulate a treatment that targets a specific gene

Gene therapy is a promising new technique for treating cancer and genetic disorders that introducing foreign genomic materials into host cells to elicit a therapeutic benefit. The key to success of gene therapy is to create safe and efficient gene delivery vehicles. Besides non-viral vehicles, viral vectors are the most commonly used carriers for delivering DNA because of their high efficiency and safety. Creative Biolabs provides both viral and no-viral vehicles design and construction for basic research and preclinical applications. In addition, we also provide services using gene editing tools to fuel the basic research of gene therapy as well as cell therapy.
