Gene Therapy & Rare Diseases with Assoc. Prof Leszek Lisowski (449)

<p class="p1">In this episode, we speak with Associate Professor Leszek Lisowski, Head of the Translational Vectorology Unit at the Children's Medical Research Institute (CMRI), about the cutting-edge world of gene therapy. He explains how viral vectors are engineered to deliver life-saving treatments for rare genetic diseases - many of which are so uncommon, they're only known by the name of the affected gene. Despite being often overlooked, genetic diseases impact 10% of adults and 30% of children in hospitals. Leszek sheds light on the challenges of diagnosis, the promise of emerging genetic testing, and how his work is paving the way for more accurate, effective therapies.</p> <p class="p1">Linkedin: Children's Medical Research Institute, Leszek Lisowski</p> <p class="p1">Facebook: @jeansforgenes</p> <p class="p1">Instagram: @jeansforgenesau</p>
