About the Center: The Center for Cell and Gene Therapy at Baylor College of Medicine, Texas Children’s Hospital, and Houston Methodist Hospital provides an infrastructure to rapidly translate novel cell and gene therapy protocols from the laboratory to the clinic. The comprehensive approach of the center brings a wide variety of scientists and clinicians together to develop strategies for the treatment of cancer, HIV and cardiovascular disease. The Center for Cell and Gene Therapy will interact with basic research and clinical departments at Baylor College of Medicine and its affiliated hospitals to discover and develop novel therapies for a range of diseases.
It is our intention to have the capability of moving basic pre-clinical discoveries into the clinical phase of development for initial evaluation in our patients. To allow this, we will have the resources to manufacture a wide range of viral and non-viral vectors to transfer genes of interest and the capability of separating and manipulating human cells. These combined genetic and cellular therapies should enable us to treat a range of conditions, both congenital and acquired, in almost every system of the body.
