Project: Novel AAVs Engineered for Efficient and Noninvasive Cross-Species Gene Editing Throughout the Central Nervous System
This project aims to advance the NIH Somatic Cell Genome Editing Program’s objective to identify novel delivery technologies that enable genome editing in therapeutically relevant somatic cell populations. We will use proven virus engineering methods to develop new vehicles that can deliver genome editing machinery throughout the adult mammalian central nervous system. Accomplishing this objective would pave the road for applying gene editing, and gene therapy more broadly, to the study and treatment of neurological and psychiatric disorders.

Testing gRNA sequence and gRNA scaffold modified in Ai9 mice. |
In Vivo | 3e11 vg/mouse of AAV-BI28:GFAP-SaCas9-WPRE-pA and 3e11 vg/mouse of AAV-BI28:GFAP-NLS-GFP-U6-L1-U6-R2 were codelivered intravenously to adult male and female Ai9 mice. Editing was assessed in brain sections 4 weeks later. | |||
