Nonhuman Primate Testing Center for Evaluation of Somatic Cell Genome Editing Tools

Nonhuman Primate Testing Center for Evaluation of Somatic Cell Genome Editing Tools

Building on extensive expertise in gene therapy and deep experiences in gene therapy, the Nonhuman Primate Testing Center for Evaluation of Somatic Cell Genome Editing Tools was established to develop safe and effective somatic cell gene editing methods to treat patients with common or rare diseases. The Testing Center is a component of the Common Fund Somatic Cell Genome Editing Consortium.  

The Center for Somatic Cell Genome Editing in Nonhuman Primates further expands the robust partnerships with investigators nationwide providing extensive expertise including in-utero interventions and rhesus models across the lifespan.  The program provides a broad array of techniques, tools, assays, and methodologies specific to somatic cell genome editing and evaluating safety and efficiency in all age groups with an emphasis on the youngest patients in need.
