                            - The work provided the first demonstration that novel DNA vectors (‘minicircles’) and magnetofection achieve safe non-viral DNA transfection in primary NSCs. Through BBSRC (BB/F013884/1, BB/J017590/1) & EPSRC (EP/I017801/1) funded projects, Chari demonstrated the utility of ‘magnetofection’ technology in collaboration with Keele spin-off company nanoTherics Ltd. Seven postgraduate students subsequently utilised the methodology, including clinical transplant cell populations, to successfully gain PhDs/clinical MPhils.
