Gene targeting


Study of the experimental conditions that will increase the frequency of gene targeting in human cells by testing different viral vectors and modifying the expression of key protein in the repair of DNA lesions by using fusion proteins and specific siRNAs. We will use the most effective methods to correct mutations in primary cells from patients with monogenic diseases, particularly certain primary immunodeficiencies.
