Division of Regenerative Medicine Tulane National Primate Research Center 18703 Three River Road, Covington, LA 70433, USA
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).
