Symposium 08. Gene delivery to the brain: applications in life sciences and gene therapy
Premier Ballroom C
In recent years, the rapid advancement of gene transfer technologies has been driven by the development of various cell-type-specific promoters/enhancers and transfer cargos, including lipid nanoparticles, AAV vectors, lentiviral vectors, and rabies virus vectors. By actively integrating these cutting-edge viral gene transfer technologies, neuroscientists can achieve groundbreaking discoveries at the forefront of global scientific research. This symposium brings together researchers developing viral vectors and lipid nanoparticles, as well as those utilizing them in their studies, to showcase the latest advancements in gene delivery techniques in neuroscience. Additionally, it will highlight cutting-edge neuroscience research that leverages these innovative technologies.
