DESCRIPTION:Marina CAVAZZANA-CALVO\nThe work of Marina Cavazzana-Calvo\, t
 hrough rigorous preclinical development\, has demonstrated the interest of
  gene and cellular therapies for the treatment of inherited diseases of th
 e immune system in absence of a compatible familial donor. This work has m
 ost notably resulted in the development of two clinical protocols led with
 in the pediatric immuno-hematology service of the Necker hospital: a clini
 cal trial targeting Severe Combined Immunodeficiency (SCID) linked to the 
 chromosome X\, an inherited disease\, fatal in early life for afflicted ne
 wborns and another trial targeting the acceleration of reconstituted immun
 ity following a bone marrow graft (hematopoietic stem cells) derived from 
 a partially compatible family donor. The research of Marina Cavazzana-Calv
 o is internationally renowned and has been distinguished with numerous sci
 entific awards.
