The goals of the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI) Center for Fetal Monkey Gene Transfer for Heart, Lung, and Blood Diseases are to conduct gene transfer studies in monkeys to evaluate safety and efficiency; and to provide NHLBI-supported investigators with expertise, resources, and services to actively pursue gene transfer approaches in monkeys in their research programs. NHLBI-supported projects span investigators throughout the United States and have addressed novel approaches to gene delivery; "proof-of-principle"; assessed whether findings in small-animal models could be demonstrated in a primate species; or were conducted to enable new grant or IND submissions. The Center for Fetal Monkey Gene Transfer for Heart, Lung, and Blood Diseases successfully aids the gene therapy community in addressing regulatory barriers, and serves as an effective vehicle for advancing the field.
美国国立心肺血液研究所(NHLBI)胎儿猴基因转移中心的目标是在猴子身上进行基因转移研究,以评估安全性和效率;并为 NHLBI 支持的研究人员提供专业知识、资源和服务,以在他们的研究计划中积极采用猴子的基因转移方法。NHLBI 支持的项目涵盖了美国各地的研究人员,涉及基因传递的新方法;“原理验证”;评估小型动物模型中的发现是否可以在灵长类动物物种中得到证明;或进行新的资助或 IND 提交。胎儿猴基因转移中心为心脏、肺和血液疾病的基因治疗社区成功地解决了监管障碍,并成为推动该领域发展的有效手段。
