Benjamin E. Draper studies gene therapy tools, focusing on adeno-associated virus (AAV) vectors, which are engineered viruses used to deliver therapeutic genes into cells. His work combines analytical techniques such as mass spectrometry and electrical mobility measurements to characterize these vectors, and explores using CRISPR gene-editing technology delivered via AAV. He examines how vector properties like genome size affect production, purification, and stability.
