Winson Tang-Discusses Gene Therapy

Winson Tang Discusses Gene Therapy
As a scientist and physician in California,
Winson Tang spends much of his time conducting
research on the methods of gene therapy. Gene
therapy involves the therapeutic delivery of
nucleic acid polymers into a patients cells
either ex-vivo or in-vivo. This new treatment
paradigm renders much debate, yet demonstrates
true life-saving possibilities for patients who
are suffering from illness and disease. The idea
of gene therapy is not new, as scientists and
clinicians have been working in this field for
many years. The first therapeutic use of gene
transfer as well as the first direct insertion of
human DNA into the nuclear genome was performed
by French Anderson in September 1990.

Winson Tang Drug Development Research
Drug development is a scientific discipline that
Dr. Winson Tang follows closely. This process,
which brings a new pharmaceutical drug to market
after the positive identification of a lead
compound, is how all medicines and
pharmaceuticals become available to the public.
Before this can happen, many trials and tests are
run, including trials on microorganisms, animals,
and humans. For many nations, this also means
that the new drug has received regulatory
approval from whichever governing bodies dictate
their safety in that region. Unfortunately, there
is no way to assess the validity of the costs
that are set forth by the pharmaceutical
companies. The claim that drugsmay cost billions
of dollars is often difficult to prove.
