Biography

Dr. Chengxiang Wu specializes in molecular virology and gene therapy, especially in construction and application of viral vectors, and in development of preventive and therapeutic gene therapy and adoptive T cell transfer therapy strategies for acquired and inherited diseases, with a focus on HIV infection and AIDS. His current research include development of a non-invasive method of drug delivery into the central nervous system through viral vector-mediated genetically modified monocyte/macrophage cells as delivery vehicles, and treatment of HIV infection and AIDS through adoptive transfer of T cells that are genetically engineered to express special receptors on their surface called chimeric antigen receptors (CARs).
