Delivery Research Theme
The strategic mission of the Delivery Theme is to overcome the challenge of transporting therapeutic agents across the blood-brain barrier (BBB) to treat neurological diseases.
We will screen and validate new delivery vectors, beginning with an rAAV capsid library screened specifically to address the challenge of delivering therapies developed by the Brain Theme to key regions like the cortex and striatum.
