Optimizing E. coli as a Vector for Efficient Gene Delivery into Mammalian Cells

Description 
Our research has optimized a non-pathogenic E. coli strain to deliver large, chromosome-sized genes into mammalian cells. We are exploring the mechanisms by which E. coli enters and transfers genes into mammalian cells, with the goal of enhancing the efficiency of this vector for gene delivery applications.
