Research summary
AI-generated

Kenneth Cornetta studies gene therapy, focusing on using engineered viruses (such as lentiviral and AAV vectors) to deliver corrective genes into blood-forming stem cells to treat inherited diseases like sickle cell disease and immune deficiencies. A major part of the work involves developing methods to test the safety of these therapies, for example by tracking where the delivered genes insert into the genome and checking for contaminating viruses. The research also addresses making gene therapies accessible in low- and middle-income countries and related global health efforts.
