In this enlightening Tedx talk, Vaagmi Shukla explores the groundbreaking potential of gene therapy in treating neurological diseases. Focusing On AAV (adeno-associated virus) therapy, Shukla explains how this innovative approach could revolutionize how we treat conditions affecting the brain and nervous system. She debunks common misconceptions surrounding gene and brain therapy, shedding light on the science behind these treatments and their potential to transform patient care.Shukla dives deep into the mechanisms of AAV therapy explaining how it works at a molecular level to deliver corrective genes to the brain. Additionally, she discusses real-world applications, like talking about more complex conditions such as Parkinsons. However, she acknowledges the significant challenges still faced in AAV gene therapy, from technical hurdles to ethical considerations. Through this talk, Shukla offers an exciting glimpse into the future of neurological treatments and the promise gene therapy holds for countless patients.This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community.
