Associate Professor
Dr. Anderson’s research interests includes developing stem cell gene therapies for HIV and multiple rare diseases. He designs and evaluates the therapies in disease-specific models to determine their efficacy toward clinical phenotypes. If successful, he is able to move these forward into clinical trials.
