The field of genetic therapeutics the focus of our new journal Genetic Vaccines and Therapy is poised to enter a potentially vast new arena of medical progress within this decade. Worldwide interest exists among biopharmaceutical companies governments the military and medical practitioners in the rapid development and deployment of novel DNA-based agents. The possibilities are virtually unlimited new treatments for emerging and re-emerging diseases effective and specific immunization against the viral scourges of HIV smallpox and others the genetic correction of hereditary defects such as cystic fibrosis more effective and specific antitumour therapies genetically tailored to the individual and gene-specific preventive measures for degenerative diseases such as Alzheimer s arthritis and arteriosclerosis 1 . Much good and useful work has been done in the field of genetic medicine but much remains to be perfected. Gene-based medicine has played a role and will continue to be of critical importance in creating vaccines and antiviral therapies for HIV hepatitis herpes and other viruses in new strategies for the prevention and
