About Vector Core
High Quality Research-Grade Viral Vectors
The Gene Transfer Vector Core (GTVC) is a viral vector core facility located at Schepens Eye Research Institute that offers the production of high titer, research-grade recombinant adeno-associated virus (rAAV). The GTVC is an integral part of the Grousbeck Gene Therapy Center, Ocular Genomics Institute of Harvard Medical School, and Massachusetts Eye and Ear Infirmary.
Our primary goal is to provide high-quality viral vectors and supporting services to the research community in Boston and beyond to support preclinical gene therapy studies.
