Welcome to the Gene Therapy Laboratory at Duke University Medical Center. Our long-term objective is to develop novel gene therapy strategies the can enhance current cancer treatment modalities (radiotherapy, chemotherapy, and surgery). To achieve this goal, we are developing various gene therapy vectors that carry various therapeutic genes (e.g. immunostimulatory and anti-angiogenic genes) and deliver them to tumors efficiently. We are also studying more fundamental aspects of tumor biology, such as genetic instability and tumor angiogenesis. We expect knowledge gained from these studies will help us to design better, more effective treatments for cancer.
