Extractions: The last few decades have seen scientists and clinicians rapidly develop an understanding of the basis of many human diseases at the molecular level. Concerted efforts, such as the multi-billion dollar Human Genome Project, have helped provide this information leap. With a better understanding of the molecular basis of many diseases, it has been possible to envision new approaches and drugs to treat previously poorly treated or untreatable diseases. One of the new approaches has been to use the information obtained in the Human Genome itself to develop treatments. Nucleic acids are molecules our bodies use to store and transmit all the information that permits our bodies, organs, tissues and cells to function normally. With the new knowledge obtained and tools developed by scientists, it is now possible for clinician-scientists to devise ways to use nucleic acids as a new class of drugs. There are many ways to use nucleic acids as drugs; some are listed below: It is possible to deliver to cells nucleic acid molecules that serve as a blueprint to make proteins that replace defective proteins. These proteins can be correct copies of defective genes like the CFTR gene that, when mutated, causes cystic fibrosis, the most common monogenetic defect found in Caucasians. This use is called

Contacts Log in to site username: password: The National Gene Vector Laboratories (NGVL) was a gene therapy manufacturing and toxicology resource previously sponsored by the National Center for Research Resources, NIH. The program has been discontinued and is no longer offering manufacturing or toxicology services. While vector production and toxicology studies are no longer supported, the NCRR has created a new program to assist gene therapy investigators, the National Gene Vector Biorepository ( www.ngvbcc.org ). The NGVB maintains a number of resources previously associated with the NGVL, including the NGVL Pharmacology/Toxicology Database and SeqMap bioinformatics tool for insertion site analysis. The NGVB now offers a variety of archiving services, educational resources, and a reagent repository. The NGVB Coordinating Center is located in the Department of Medical and Molecular Genetics at the Indiana University School of Medicine, the same site as the previous NGVL Coordinating Center.

Extractions: Department of Neurology about us Dr. Jeffrey Chamberlain is the principal investigator of the Chamberlain Lab in the Department of Neurology, University of Washington School of Medicine and director of the Senator Paul D. Wellstone Muscular Dystrophy Cooperative Research Center. The main focus of our research is on the muscular dystrophies, primarily Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD), with two major goals: to develop a better understanding of the molecular basis of the pathophysiology of the diseases, and to develop gene and cell therapies that will correct and treat the muscular dystrophies. DMD is the most common form of muscular dystrophy, affecting one in 3,500 newborn males, and is caused by mutations in the dystrophin gene. Currently, the laboratory includes ~20 scientists conducting cutting edge studies that we hope to translate into clinical trials in the near future. We are working with some of the best doctors and scientists at Children's Hospital, Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center, the VA Hospital, and Harborview Medical Center to most effectively tackle the challenge ahead: to find a treatment for muscular dystrophy. recent news Dr. Chamberlain's book
