HSV Development - Dr. Keith Jerome’s Research on HSV Cure

Dr. Keith Jerome and his team at the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center have been pioneering innovative research aimed at curing herpes simplex virus (HSV) infections. Their groundbreaking approach uses advanced gene-editing techniques, particularly molecular scissors like meganucleases, to target and disable latent HSV within nerve cells. This method focuses on cutting the virus's DNA, effectively destroying the virus's ability to reactivate.
