TaRGeT - UMR1089
TaRGeT laboratory is based in Nantes Université, at the 4th and 5th floors of “Nantes Biotech/Institut de Recherche en Santé 2 (IRS2)" building.
UMR 1089 (before known as U649) is an internationally recognized expert in the field of gene therapy using viral vectors, in particular in Adeno-Associated Virus-derived vectors (AAV).
The lab has put together a large number of scientific and technological skilled expertise to advance AAV gene therapy products to the clinic among which:
- vector design and engineering,
- vector preclinical evaluation in neuromuscular and retinal diseases,
- vector immunogenicity and
- vector large scale bioproduction.
The Translational vector core (CPV for “Centre de Production des Vecteurs”) created in 1997
has been labelled by the French government in 2020 as one among the 6 national industrial integrators
of the “Grand Défi National des Biomédicaments”.
Since 2004, the whole laboratory activities are performed under a quality management system that is approved by Lloyd's Register Quality Assurance LRQA to meet requirements of international Management System Standards ISO 9001:2015.
