This book delivers a collection of organized and succinct reviews in the field of therapeutic genetic medicine presented by a carefully selected group of top experts. Each chapter focuses on a single, current topic and explains issues in the development of genetic treatments, critical challenges and strategies for implementing them, and future directions in research and translational applications. The book is complemented with uniformly designed illustrations and a supplementary Web site with a PowerPoint presentation for educators.

Dr. Boro Dropulic is Founder and Chief Scientific Officer of VIRxSYS, a company that has developed the first lentiviral vector in humans for clinical trial. Dr. Barrie Carter is Senior Vice President and Chief Scientific Officer of Targeted Genetics.
