Nicolas Wein, PhD, is a principal investigator in the Center for Gene Therapy and an assistant professor of Pediatrics at The Ohio State University. He received his doctorate degree in Molecular Biology in the laboratory of Nicolas Levy, MD, PhD, at the Marseille Medical School in France, where he worked on the development of new diagnosis tools for neuromuscular diseases, the discovery of the minidysferlin gene and its use for gene transfer and investigation of the use of exon-skipping for dysferlinopathies. In 2011, he joined the team of Kevin Flanigan, MD, at the Center for Gene Therapy as a postdoctoral scientist, where he worked the identification and therapeutic implications of a novel IRES in the dystrophin gene. He established his own laboratory as an independent investigator at in the center in 2016.
