Gene therapy has tremendous potential for the treatment of neurological disorders. There has been substantial progress in the development of gene therapy strategies for neurological disorders over the last two decades. Gene Therapy in Neurological Disorders thoroughly reviews currently available gene therapy tools and presents examples of their application in a variety of neurological diseases. The book begins with general reviews of gene therapy strategies with a focus on neurological disorders. The remainder of the chapters present approaches to specific neurological disorders. Each chapter gives an in-depth introduction to the relevant field before diving into the specific tool or application. The book aims to help investigators, students and research staff better understand the principles of gene therapy and its application in the nervous system.

Dr. Li is an Associate Professor in the Department of Neurology at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis, Missouri. He is also a Senior Scientist in the Viral Vectors Core at the Hope Center for Neurological Disorders. Dr. Li has over 15 years’ experience in viral vector development and gene therapy, and some of the vectors have been used in clinical trials. After joining Department of Neurology at Washington University, Dr. Li has focused on developing vectors for applications in neuroscience and constructed numerous new vectors targeting neurological disorders. Dr. Snider is a Professor in the Department of Neurology at Washington University School of Medicine. She is also the Director of Hope Center Viral vectors Core. Dr. Snider is interested in translational research on neurodegenerative disorders and undertakes clinical studies at the Washington University Alzheimer's Disease Research Center. She also sees patients at Barnes-Jewish Hospital/Washington University in St. Louis, Missouri
