The Institute<br />

With around 35 scientific staff, the main basic and developmental research focuses are with murine leukaemia,<br />

human and simian immunodeficiency, mouse mammary tumour and Rous sarcoma viruses. Virology has recently<br />

broadened its research spectrum into the area of bionanotechnology. Close collaborations with industry and other<br />

partners have allowed academic programmes designed to convert viruses into powerful vehicles for delivering<br />

therapeutic genes to be accelerated with the aim of entering clinical trials.<br />

Technology and Research and Development<br />

State-of-the-art replication competent retroviral vectors now allow up to 100% therapeutic gene transduction into<br />

animal tumour models. Despite this, medical applications are still limited due to the inability of being able to target<br />

vectors to the tumour site. To overcome this, work is currently underway to controllably bridge the bio – mineral<br />
