Research Profile

Song’s interests are in 1) improvement of safety and efficiency of rAAV vector by understanding molecular mechanisms of persistence and integration of the AAV genome in mammalian cells and 2) the use of recombinant Adeno-Associated Virus (rAAV) vectors mediated gene transfer to develop gene therapy approaches for common diseases such as diabetes and arthritis.

His research interests include: molecular and cell biology, gene expression and gene regulation, liver and muscle gene delivery, gene therapy for type 1 diabetes and alpha 1 antitrypsin deficiency, adeno-associated virus (AAV) vector biology: DNA persistence, integration and interaction with cellular factors; host immune responses to transgene products
