Jeff Galvin, the CEO and Founder of American Gene Technologies™, is a biotech pioneer who’s passionate about curing humanity’s most deadly diseases through gene therapy by creating a gene therapy platform and proving it by developing a cure for HIV. He sees the human cell as a biological computer, with DNA as its software operating system. Just like in man-made computers, a cell’s operating system sometimes contains glitches or errors that make the cell function differently than intended. Those malfunctions can result in life-threatening diseases. The best way to cure those diseases is by fixing the underlying DNA — literally tweaking the cell’s software code to eliminate the glitch. That vision, and the techniques for repairing a cell’s DNA, continually drive Jeff and American Gene Technologies toward more innovation.
