A History of Gene Transfer and Therapy

  • Chapter
Gene Therapeutics

Abstract

“Gene therapy” is generally thought of as a very new concept, but the notion that genes could be manipulated to treat human disease actually goes back several decades. Many of the pioneers of modern genetics realized that their discoveries eventually could lead to medical applications. Some even proposed gene transfer approaches decades ago that are still being explored today.
