Research Abstract

Dr. Mulligan's laboratory is primarily interested in the development of methods for introducing genes into mammalian cells, and the application of those methods in a number of areas of cell biology, developmental biology, virology and medicines. The current research activities of his laboratory are focused in three general areas: (i) the control of hematopoiesis, (ii) manipulation of the immune response via gene transfer, and (iii) the development of new mammalian gene transfer vectors.
