Module Director: Zhigang He
The Viral Module at The Kirby Program in Neuroscience in Boston Children’s Hospital provides technological services on the development and use of viral based vectors. We offer high-quality and high-titer lentiviral and AAV preparations. For most commonly used vectors, off-the-shelf aliquots are available. In addition, viral constructs with different promoter/reporter genes are available on request. Our onsite facility and close communication between the technical staff and investigators facilitates the application of viral technologies in vision research in Core laboratories.
