COVID-19 TINs Seminar Series: The Mechanics Behind the Rapid Translation of the CPAP Device

This educational webinar recording covers the practical aspects of using Adeno-Associated Viruses (AAV) and lentiviruses to deliver and express Your Favourite Gene (YFG) in vivo for both basic research and pre-clinical studies of gene therapy treatments. With expertise in translational neuroscience, Professor Stephanie Schorge, Dr Ahad Rahim and Dr Giulia Massaro, highlight tips and tricks to help any researcher use viral delivery for basic and translational neuroscience. This includes: How to design a viral vector and which capsid to use What is needed to make viral particles; How many are needed for different studies; What resources are available for help, including the new UCL GeneTxNeuro Facility based at the UCL School of Pharmacy GeneTxNeuro is a facility that gives all UCL researchers access to the equipment and expertise needed to make AAV and lentis for research and preclinical work. The webinar highlights the services and benefits offered by the facility.
