CQAs of viral vectors for gene therapy include viral capsid titer, ratio of empty and full capsids, and percent aggregate. These are rapidly measured by SEC-MALS, combining size-exclusion chromatography with multi-angle light scattering.

 Analysis of DNA tags could advance the understanding and treatment of many cancers
 
Analysis of DNA tags could advance the understanding and treatment of many cancersCell-free DNA (cfDNA) shed into the blood was discovered in the late 1940s but with rapid advances in genomics and computational analytics in just the past few years, researchers at Georgetown Lombardi Comprehensive Cancer Center now believe that studying tags, or modifications to this type of DNA, may lead to a better understanding of how to assess, and possibly modulate, treatment approaches for cancer and other diseases.
