Gene Therapy and Radiology Team Up to Optimize Vector Delivery

Two scientists with unique skill sets are developing an alternative method for gene therapy delivery with support from a CGTC Seed Grant.

Ma Laboratory for Immune Engineering

Our lab designs novel genetic, chemistry and engineering tools to dissect immune cell-cell and cell-tissue crosstalk and leverages these crosstalk mechanisms to develop biomaterials, protein, and cell-based precision immunotherapies.

Leyuan Ma, PhD

Dr. Ma focuses on immune engineering. He leverages genetic, chemistry, and engineering tools to dissect immune cell-cell and cell-tissue crosstalk and harness these crosstalk mechanisms to develop biomaterials, protein, and cell-based precision immunotherapies for cancer and autoimmune diseases.
