"CURING INCURABLE DISEASES WITH JEFF GALVIN" | Lab to Launch Podcast by Qualio
Podcast
Qualio's brief summary:
"What if incurable diseases like HIV, cancer, PKU, and epithelial solid tumors were completely curable? We're closer than you might think. Really close. In fact, Jeff Galvin and his team at American Gene Technologies® (AGT) have been advancing the research and application of viral vectors for several years with some incredibly exciting breakthroughs on the horizon (hint: curing HIV could be just a few years away). In case you didn't know already, viral vectors is a relatively new technology where you can crack open any virus, scoop out the malevolent code and replace it with code to attack the root drivers of what are today incurable diseases. Essentially this creates a "stealth bomber" benevolent virus in your body. The future of this treatment could "send radiation and chemotherapy the way of bloodletting and leeches" as Jeff says in this podcast. Jeff has contagious energy for gene technologies and a grand vision of the future of curing the incurable."
