About the journal
Aims and Scope
Molecular Therapy — Nucleic Acids is an international, open-access journal publishing top-quality basic, translational, and clinical research in the broad fields of nucleic acid-based therapeutics to treat and/or correct genetic and acquired disease. As an official journal of the American Society of Gene & Cell Therapy, Molecular Therapy — Nucleic Acids will build upon the success of Molecular Therapy in publishing important peer-reviewed research and cutting-edge reviews and commentaries targeted to advances in gene- and oligonucleotide-based therapies. Subject areas include, but are not limited to: development of therapeutics based on nucleic acids and their derivatives, vector development and design for the delivery of RNA based therapeutics, applications of gene modifying agents including triplex forming oligonucleotides and enzymes such as Zn finger nucleases, pre-clinical target validation, safety/efficacy studies, and clinical trials.
Other key topics include:
- Applications of DNA based oligonucleotides and their derivatives
- Gene vectors for delivery of RNA-based therapies
- Development of nanoparticles and other delivery agents
- siRNAs, shRNAs, and miRNAs
- Aptamers, ribozymes, and DNAzymes
- Peptide nucleic acids
- Gene modifying approaches including enzymes, triplex forming nucleic acids, and other approaches
- Development of new nucleic acid chemistries for altering gene expression
- Mechanisms of gene and nucleic acid transfer/transfection
- Vector trafficking and biodistribution
Molecular Therapy — Nucleic Acids is a peer-reviewed, open access, online only journal that publishes Original Articles, Reviews, Commentaries, Letters to the Editor, and Editorials.

John Rossi, PhD
Dr. Rossi received his doctorate in microbial genetics from the University of Connecticut in Storrs. For postdoctoral training Dr. Rossi went to Brown University Medical School in Providence, Rhode Island where he trained under Dr. Arthur Landy studying the genomic structure, organization and expression of two gene clusters encoding tRNA-tyrosine in E. coli. This research led to the first observation that a tRNA gene cluster was co-transcribed with and subsequently processed from an mRNA. In 1980 Dr. Rossi moved to the Department of Molecular Genetics at the City of Hope in Duarte, California. Dr. Rossi's laboratory began to develop and test the idea of utilizing catalytic RNAs or ribozymes for inhibition of HIV infection. This research program has led to two clinical trials in which ribozyme genes have been transduced into hematopoietic stem cells for autologous transplant in HIV infected individuals. Work in the laboratory continues to focus upon enhancing the intracellular efficacy of ribozymes and RNA decoys via RNA trafficking and target co-localization approaches. This program has led to a first of its kind hematopoietic stem cell clinical trial using a triple gene therapy approach in AIDS/lymphoma patients. At present a large percentage of the research effort of the lab is focused upon the biology and utilization of small interfering RNAs, or siRNA and the evolution of aptamers for targeted siRNA delivery. Importantly, Dr. Rossi has served on the Editorial Board of Molecular Therapy since its inception and is now Deputy Editor for the section on Oligonucleotide Therapy. Dr. Rossi previously served as co-editor in chief of Oligonucleotides from 2006-11. Dr. Rossi also serves on the board of the following journals: Antisense Research and Development, Cancer Gene Therapy, Biotechnology Journal, Journal of Biological Chemistry, BioTechniques, BMC Open biotechnology, Silence, PLoS and Human Gene Therapy. Dr. Rossi is also a regular reviewer and contributor to many high impact journals, including PNAS, Cell, Cell Host and Microbe, Nature, Nature Biotechnology, Nature Genetics, Nature Medicine, Nature Nanotechnology, EMBO Journal, EMBO Reports, EMBO Molecular Medicine, Science Translational Medicine, Science, Nucleic Acids Research, RNA, Gene Therapy, Nature Structural and Molecular Biology, Nature Chemical Biology, and others.
Robert M. Frederickson, PhD
Rob Frederickson received his doctorate training in virology and biochemistry at McGill University in Montreal, Canada, followed by post-doctoral work in the Department of Medical Genetics at the University of Washington. Dr. Frederickson has over 17 years of experience as a science editor and writer, beginning with a stint at Nature magazine in London. He has served as Research Editor at Nature Biotechnology and Senior Editor at Nature Medicine. Dr. Frederickson is now entering his 10th year of service as the Editor of Molecular Therapy. Dr. Frederickson has written numerous articles and contributes the regular In this Issue and Research Highlights features in Molecular Therapy.
