We describe ethical preparedness as a necessary component for the successful delivery of novel healthcare innovations, and use recent advances in genomic healthcare as an example.
What is gene editing and how is it used?
Genes are made up of DNA, or deoxyribonucleic acid. Nearly all cells in your body have the same DNA, the material that makes your body uniquely yours. If anything goes wrong in your DNA, it can result in various diseases
How far should we go with gene editing in pursuit of the ‘perfect’ human?
Although translational research for drug development can provide patients with valuable therapeutic resources it is not without risk, especially in the early-phase trials that present the highest degree of uncertainty.
A selection of articles about the use of gene therapy.
This technology raises a host of questions. Of immediate concern is how to ensure that gene-editing research is conducted in a way that does not do immediate harm to human beings?
Google Scholar is a search engine that indexes scholarly literature, including peer-reviewed papers, theses, books, abstracts, and other academic materials. It allows users to easily search and find scholarly information across various disciplines from a wide range of academic publishers, professional societies, and preprint archives.
Gene therapy is an innovative approach to medicine that uses genetic material to prevent, treat and potentially even cure disease. While still in its earliest stages, gene therapy has the promise to be a life-changing medical treatment. Pediatric hematologist/oncologist Rabi Hanna, MD, explains how gene therapy works and can help patients.
Gene therapy is the process of replacing defective genes with healthy ones, adding new genes to help the body fight or treat disease, or deactivating problem genes. It holds the promise to transform medicine and create options for patients who are living with difficult, and even incurable, diseases. Learn how this innovative therapy works.
During this educational session, experts in the field reviewed different gene therapy approaches, disease applications, and research processes, and described the current state of the field.

Gene therapy is a type of treatment designed to modify the expression of an individual’s genes or to correct abnormal genes to treat a disease.
Gene therapy and genome editing technologies are increasingly being reported on in the news and discussed in medical literature, but what are they?
The treatment of a condition through modifying a patient's genes, usually by introducing typically behaving genes to replace non-functioning versions.
Gene therapy is a way to treat some genetic diseases. It works by replacing a malfunctioning gene, “turning off” a disease-causing gene or giving you a new copy of a gene. Approved gene therapies treat inherited blood, neuromuscular and eye diseases, and other genetic conditions.
