As part of the activities of the weekly program of the British Pavilion at Expo 2020 Dubai under the slogan “How will we thrive?” Professor Claire Booth, a specialist in gene therapy at the Great Ormond Street Institute of Child Health at University College London, and Consultant in Pediatric Immunology at Great Ormond Street Hospital, has been invited to a video conference to discuss her world-leading research in gene therapy.
Great Ormond Street Hospital has been a leading global center in gene therapy for more than 20 years, with much of its groundbreaking research now taking place at the Zayed Center for Research in Rare Diseases in Children, which opened in London in 2019.
Professor Claire Booth said: “Expo 2020 Dubai is an important global platform to discuss ground-breaking research from around the world, and it is a great honor to be able to participate in the UK Pavilion and showcase the 20 years of progress we have made in gene therapy at Great Hospital. Ormond Street.” Among the experiments carried out under the supervision of Professor Booth and Professor Adrian Thrasher, the team was able to correct blood stem cells taken from patients suffering from many diseases of the immune system using harmless modified viruses, which resulted in the development of the immune system in patients to enjoy the same normal life. enjoyed by their healthy friends. This technique is currently used to treat blood diseases and metabolic disorders as well. New gene-editing techniques are also being researched with the aim of developing gene therapy and improving its results to treat a wider range of diseases.
Professor Paul Jessen, also Head of the Department of Genetic and Cell Therapy at the National Institute for Biomedical Research Center of Great Ormond Street Hospital at Zayed Research Center, also participated in the Genomic Medicine Conference held at the Australian Pavilion at Expo 2020 Dubai. The United Arab Emirates University had invited Professor Jessen to participate in Expo 2020 Dubai, where he discussed his innovative techniques used at Great Ormond Street Hospital to find a cure for incurable diseases and reviewed the challenges and opportunities he faced. The professor has participated in a number of his team’s recent work that he presented at Expo 2020 Dubai as a researcher in clinical trials for “Brineora”, a treatment to replace the missing enzyme in patients with the genetic “CLN2 Batten” disease that causes disorders in the nervous system, and some tests are now underway to use a treatment Brainiora, by injecting it into the inner part of the eye of a child with the disease, to save his sight.
It is worth noting that the Zayed Research Center is the fruit of a partnership between Great Ormond Street Hospital, University College London, Great Ormond Street Hospital Foundation for Child Health and Great Ormond Street Hospital Children’s Charitable Foundation. The center was established thanks to a generous grant of $ 60 million pounds sterling provided by Her Highness Sheikha Fatima bint Mubarak, Chairwoman of the General Women’s Union, President of the Supreme Council for Motherhood and Childhood, and Supreme Chair of the Family Development Foundation, in 2014.
