Welcome to the Moleda project website

This website aims to take a proactive role by informing citizens, healths professionals and European scientists about Moleda research activities in the field of gene therapy to integrate non-viral DNA.

Recently, two different in vivo non viral DNA delivery techniques have been introduced :

- Electrotransfer, using electric pulses (ET),
- Laser beam gene transfer (LBGT).

Our aim is to increase precision and selectivivity of non viral DNA transfer, by introducing molecular strategies to improve LT and LBGT. This optimization will be performed in skeletal muscle and skin.

Moleda stands for Molecular Optimization of Laser / Electrotransfer DNA Administration into muscle and skin for gene therapy . It is a Specific Targeted Research Project funded in "Integrating and strengthening the ERA" within the EC FP6 programme.
