Simon Waddington MSc, PhD

Simon Waddington obtained his Ph.D. in 1999 from Imperial College London, UK. He chose to specialize in Gene Therapy Research in the same year and moved to University College London in 2005 to set up the Gene Transfer Technology Group. Professor Simon Waddington leads a team on the University College of London that is developing preclinical models of gene and stem cell transfer, particularly in utero and neonatal gene delivery for monogenetic disorders of the coagulation cascade. Working on this scientific field has renowned importance because establishing a therapeutic vehicle to be able to act on a pharmacological target is essential to get the outcomes that were previously designed.
