History
The Research Institute for Human and Genetic Therapy (RIGHT) was created under the impetus of two researchers, Drs. Julianna Lisziewicz and Franco Lori.
RIGHT, incorporated as a 501(c)(3) non-profit corporation in the USA in 1994, has obtained grants from both Italy and the European Union, presented numerous studies at international conferences, and published nearly one hundred scientific articles in peer-reviewed journals.
In 2000, Franco Lori as Scientific Director of RIGHT received the important recognition “Hero in Medicine” by the International Association of Physicians in AIDS Care (IAPAC), to acknowledge the Institute's role in the development of the first organized US and international response to the AIDS pandemic.
Throughout the years, RIGHT’s basic research activities have been primarily conducted through the RIGHT research facilities at Georgetown University, Gaithersburg and Bethesda in USA and, more recently, through the Fondazione IRCCS Policlinico San Matteo in Pavia, Italy.
