Developing a Permanent Treatment for Lactose Intolerance Using Gene Therapy

For more than half a decade I’ve suffered from lactose intolerance. If I consumed even the smallest amounts of lactose I’d be violently ill within the hour. So as I was choosing my university I vowed that one day I’d fix it. Recently my friend Gabriel Licina, renowned biohacker and genetic engineer, gave me access to the tools and materials I needed to make a therapy that could potentially fix the issue. The therapy uses a virus called an AAV to deliver DNA that codes for the enzyme that breaks down lactos
