ABOUT THE JOURNAL

Aims and scope of journal

Gene Therapy covers both the research and clinical applications of the new genetic therapy techniques currently being developed. Over the last decade, gene therapy protocols have entered clinical trials in increasing numbers and as they cover a wide spectrum of diseases, these studies promise to unite the diverse organ-based specialities into which modern medicine has become divided. Gene Therapy covers all aspects of gene therapy as applied to human disease, including:

• novel technological developments for gene transfer, control and silencing
• basic science studies of mechanisms of gene transfer and control of expression
• preclinical animal model systems and validation studies
• clinical trial reports which have significant impact for the field
• gene-based vaccine development and applications
• cell-based therapies including all aspects of stem cells and genetically modified cellular approaches
