Request Vectors and Reagents

To browse services offered by the GTVC, find information on pricing, or request production of an rAAV vector, click here. Please contact gtvc@meei.harvard.edu with any questions about services offered by the GTVC.

Vector request submissions are not complete without plasmid sequence and digest information. Incomplete information will delay vector production.

Interested in obtaining a reagent from the Vandenberghe lab? We aim to deposit all plasmid material at Addgene. For any questions, please contact Luk Vandenberghe at Luk_Vandenberghe@meei.hard.ard.edu.

Positions

We are always interested in talented and passionate researchers who work well in a team and compelled by gene therapy and virology. Prospective applicants can send an email to luk_vandenberghe at meei.harvard.edu with a CV, cover letter, and list of 3 references. Please provide your materials in one document and filename as YYMMDD_LASTNAME_FIRSTNAME.

Postdoctoral Positions

Postdoctoral Positions

Several postdoctoral fellowship positions are available within a range of expertises and interest.

Protein Engineering, Molecular Viral Library Development and Evaluation: development of adeno-associated viral vector design and evaluation thereof using NGS and high-throughput technologies
Viral Immunology and Host-Vector Interactions: Study of the host response of novel molecular viral vectors in animal models and humans
Bio-informatics and Systems Biology: Study of large datasets on vector-host interactions relevant to gene therapy in order to obtain systems understanding of the interplay between host genomics and viral vector structure.
In vivo gene transfer and Translational Gene Therapy: evaluation of the safety and targeting potential of novel viral vectors for therapeutic gene transfer in animal models and disease models, with a focus on retina, cochlea, liver, muscle, heart and/or liver.
