While allogeneic grafts have thus far suggested complete eradication of […]

To achieve a functional or sterilizing cure in a greater number of infected individuals […]

Most chronic viral infections are managed with small molecule therapies that inhibit replication but are not curative because non-replicating viral forms can persist despite decades of suppressive treatment. There are therefore numerous strategies in development to eradicate all non-replicating viruses from the body. We are currently engineering DNA cleavage enzymes that specifically target hepatitis B […]
