Indispensability creates industry leaders. BioViva’s CMV gene delivery system does what other vectors cannot. Current vectors provide scanty palettes and frayed brushes to prospective gene therapists, keeping the lion’s share of use cases outside their reach. Gene therapy’s full potential can only be unleashed through large and redosable vectors like…
