Research And Management Experience
Director of USF Viral Vector Core.
Assist or direct the design and production of viral vectors for faculty at USF.
Management of of Post-doctorates, lab technicians and graduate students and
directing experimental research focus.
Research Assistant Professor/Post-doctorate Mol. Gen. & Micro. Dept. U.F.
Identification of host cell factors that are involved in the replication of Adeno-
associated virus (AAV). This has involved extensive cell fractionation and protein
purification as well as recombinant protein work to identify the essential proteins
required for virus replication.
Design of AAV gene therapy vectors for the study and treatment of Alzheimer s
disease. To this end we have produced recombinant AAV, that in preliminary
studies, reduces the -amyloid load on Alzheimer model mice. We are also
examining the use of AAV with shRNA to reduce the levels of BACE protein in the
same animal models.
