The rapid expansion and use of gene therapy globally have made it critical to organize, structure and strengthen efforts in this fast-moving field. The Gene Therapy Institute was formed to support these critical administrative, recruiting and infrastructural needs. Our faculty have uniquely positioned the Institute as a global leader in this area, with end-to-end capabilities ranging from fundamental science to clinical trials and, ultimately, commercialization.
Our Mission
The Gene Therapy Institute is dedicated to:
- Fostering an interdisciplinary community of scientists and clinicians in gene therapies within Ohio and around the world.
