Virologist Advocates for AAV-Based Gene Therapy to Treat Genetic Diseases in Nigeria

Innocent Osuya, a Nigerian doctoral student and virologist at Florida State University, has highlighted the potential of adeno-associated virus (AAV) in treating genetic disorders through gene therapy. Osuya's research focuses on AAV's ability to deliver genetic material into host cells to correct d... [More info]

Adenovirus ain't ideal, but AAV's got potential. Nigeria’s gotta push local production n training to cut costs. Sickle cell focus makes sense. Gov needs to step up, make it happen fast.

Yeah, adenovirus is already in some vaccines, but using it for gene therapy might end up jacking up costs and slowing down progress, especially with other methods available.

Virologist Advocates for AAV-Based Gene Therapy to Treat Genetic Diseases in Nigeria

Yo, the adenovirus is already a player in some vaccines, but using it for gene therapy? Nah, I’m thinking it might jack up costs and slow shit down compared to other methods we got going.

This is a great documentary about one woman's plight with #Huntington'sDisease. It is movie length though. It is a great watch. #Medicine #Health #GeneticDiseases #Huntington'sDisease youtu.be/si1tAtTWjqA?...

A heartwrenching coverage of a rare neurodegenrative disorder called spinocerebellar ataxia (SCA) that runs in families in various parts of India that practice endogamy.

The apathy, the stigma, the need and lack of funds for basic research, the lack of funds for clinical support etc., etc., are all documented.

"The Indian government spends less than 1 percent of its Gross Domestic Product on scientific research. (China, in comparison, spends 2.2 percent, and Japan 3.4 percent.) In this year’s budget, the government has slashed funds for science by about 4 percent from last year. "

"Basic’ research, important for understanding the working of diseases at the cellular level, gets the short shrift in this approach. From data accessed under the Right To Information Act, I learnt that of the ₹32 crore received by the IGIB from the Council of Scientific and Industrial Research between 2015 and 2021, only 2.5 per cent (₹80.5 lakh) was deployed for targeted basic research."

(32 crores is roughly 4 million $ and 80.5 lakh is 100K$ currently. That's it, and that's over 7 years and nation wide!)
