Gene Therapies

Gene therapy is the transfer of DNA to a patient in order to cure genetic diseases. The new DNA transferred to the patient usually contains genes that have the function of correcting the effects of the mutation that caused the disease.
Gene therapy is the use of sections of DNA (usually genes) to cure or prevent disease. The DNA is carefully selected to correct the effects of the altered (mutant) gene that causes the disease. This technique was first developed in 1972, but so far has had very limited success in the treatment of human diseases.
Stembio wants to pioneer the future of medicine in Turkey with new generation therapies and aims to offer gene therapies to physicians and patients in the coming years.

Gene therapy may be a promising treatment option for some genetic disorders.
