Exciting HIV Clinical Trial Update
American Gene Technologies® HIV Cure Clinical Trial Enters Critical Phase: Withdrawing Participants from Antiretrovirals.
“This is a critical step in our mission to cure HIV using gene therapy,” said American Gene Technologies CEO Jeff Galvin. “We’ll monitor participants carefully, and within the next few months, we’ll begin to know how close we are to reaching our dream of curing HIV. If participants respond as we expect, they may no longer need to take their antiretroviral medications and could remain immune to HIV for life without further treatment.”
Our Leadership Team Expands
With his deep expertise in biotechnology, our new Chief Science Officer, Jeff Boyle, Ph.D., will help further accelerate American Gene Technologies’ FDA-approved HIV gene therapy clinical trial.
“I look forward to building on the successes of the team at American Gene Technologies as we grow the expertise with the pipeline in our mission to relieve human suffering from serious diseases with our gene therapy platform,” Dr. Jeff Boyle said.

University Startups Program
American Gene is creating business opportunities for high school students in Montgomery County.

Supercharging breakthrough medical research and ending cancer as we know it, Congress approved $1 billion for the Advanced Research Projects Agency for Health (ARPA-H), which will tackle projects that are seen as too costly, risky, or time-intensive for the private sector and traditional public research. “Anywhere within the Rockville-Baltimore-Frederick triangle would be a great fit for ARPA-H, especially compared with a place like Boston,” American Gene Technologies CEO Jeff Galvin said.
