Research/Academic Interests

Gerhard Bauer is an assistant professor of hematology and oncology and director of the Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) laboratory at the UC Davis Institute for Regenerative Cures. In addition to GMP design and construction expertise, Bauer also has extensive experience in the field of gene and cell therapy, having spent two decades developing novel clinical applications to improve medical outcomes for life-threatening illnesses.

He also has investigated potential therapies for HIV, replacing the devastated immune system of an HIV-infected patient with cells that have been engineered to resist the virus. Bauer came to the UC Davis Health System in 2006 after designing and directing a state-of-the-art GMP laboratory at Washington University in St. Louis.
