Research summary
AI-generated

Megan Baird's research focuses on gene therapy approaches using adeno-associated virus (AAV) vectors to treat neurological, neuromuscular, and retinal diseases, including ALS, Batten disease, and hearing loss. This work involves engineering viral delivery systems to introduce or modify genes in the nervous system and eye, aiming to address inherited or degenerative conditions. The research spans both preclinical animal studies and reviews of clinical progress in the field.
