Design a novel genetic “drug” platform to eradicate the virus from people living with HIV. We will program the unique large-capacity T4 phage nanoparticle to target hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) in vivo and deliver a gene correction payload, thus replacing the existing HIV reservoir with HIV-resistant cells. Once developed, this T4 Artificial Viruses technology would […]

The potential for conflicts arising from the interactions between MGEs (Mobile Genetic Elements) and bacteria has driven the evolution of sophisticated defense mechanisms to filter, tame, or inactivate these elements. Several bacterial defense systems (termed the defensome) revealing two major groupings based on their components and modes of action: innate (non-specific) and adaptive immune systems. […]
