When he’s not busy conducting gene therapy experiments at the bench, our very own K. Tyler McCullough graciously volunteers his time at UF Health where he brightens the day of many a patient by introducing them to his trusty sidekick, “Mack”. Mack’s biggest fans are found on the pediatric floor and in…
Miranda’s work on developing a gene therapy for Congenital Stationary Night Blindness was just accepted in Human Molecular Genetics. Click here to see the fruits of her labor! http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/26310623…
In case you’re looking for the Boye lab, we are currently housed in M-119 of the Medical Sciences Building. We brought our capsids with us!…
Dr. Shannon Boye and Sanford Boye were honored this year at the University of Florida’s Celebration of Innovation for successfully transferring their world-class research to a commercial partner. The University of Florida ranks among the nation’s leaders at transferring technology to partners who turn these discoveries into commercial products that make…
Dr. Boye received the Foundation’s Board of Director’s Award, which was presented at VISIONS 2015, FFB’s annual conference, for achievements in retinal research.
The Boye lab had many firsts at this year’s ARVO conference in Denver. Miranda White gave her first platform presentation. Sadly it was concurrent with mine and I missed it, but several little birdies tell me she did a great job! Dr. Shreyasi…
Shreyasi was recently recognized with an “Outstanding Graduate Student in Visual Sciences” award from North Texas Eye Research Institute. Even though she’s already been in the lab for 9 months, we are very proud that Shreyasi was recognized in this way by her former University. Congrats Dr. Choudhury!!…
In medicine, doctors often talk about treatments, but rarely about cures. Now, gene therapy is offering the potential to actually cure certain diseases and an experimental breakthrough could one day help blind patients see.
Miranda White received a competitive oral presentation slot and a travel award to attend this year’s American Society of Gene and Cell Therapy (ASGCT) meeting. Nice job! Her talk, “Optimization of rAAV Targets ON Bipolar Cells and Rescues the Nyxnob Mouse MOdel of X-linked Congenital Stationary Night Blindness” will be…
