IGEM

Hi, we are Tsinghua TeamTeam Tsinghua and we are participating 2014 iGEM competitionin iGEM 2014. We are working on a gene therapy for Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus (T1DM).
Wait, you gotta slow down. T1DM? Gene therapy?
T1DM results from the autoimmune destruction of insulin-producing beta cells in the pancreas. We aim to convert somatic cells into insulin-producing cells regulated by blood glucose, and eliminate the need for constant insulin therapy.
Hmm… Sounds plausible, but gene therapy could be dangerous!
We use Adeno-associated viral (AAV) vectors to introduce genes, which has proven to be safe… Well, that’s a whole other story, want to know more?
Let’s hear it!
