Nizar Y. Saad's research centers on gene therapy delivery methods, particularly the use of extracellular vesicles (small membrane-bound particles released by cells) combined with viral vectors like AAV (adeno-associated virus) to deliver genetic material to muscle tissue. This work connects to broader interests in RNA biology, including RNA splicing, RNA modifications, and the role of RNA-protein complexes in early life origins. The research has practical applications for treating neuromuscular disorders through improved gene therapy techniques.
