Dr. Khurana
was the principal inventor of a gene delivery device and gene
delivery method (U.S. Patent 6,821,264) while undertaking
his Ph.D.
This invention, affectionately
referred to as "The Genebrush",
is a works-in-progress, with the aim to incorporate this therapeutic
"clinical grade vector"-delivering paintbrush in
operating rooms worldwide, to enhance patient care and clinical
outcomes in a wide variety of medical conditions.
After the seminal publication regarding this work in the premier journal Gene Therapy (Khurana et al., 2003), the biosafety and potential clinical effectiveness of this novel technique were independently validated by researchers in the Netherlands and at Johns Hopkins in Baltimore (
see Key References section). A separate Website dedicated
to this device and method is currently under development.
