Post-Doctoral Associate - University of Minnesota, Twin Cities : Job Details

The Aslanidi Lab research is focused on bioengineering and the application of Adeno-Associated virus (AAV) vectors for the purpose of lung-directed gene. The research addresses several important drawbacks in AAV-based gene therapy such as vector efficiency to transduce lung epithelial and basal cells, pre-existing and therapy-activated immunogenicity, scaled-up vector production, and assessment of AAV efficacy in pre-clinical animal models. The goal of our research is to ensure advancement of gene therapy treatment for patients with lung-specific genetic diseases.
