Gene therapy began to take shape in the second half of the 20th century, following advances in genetics and molecular biology. In 1990, the first clinical trial of gene therapy in humans was conducted in the United States. Since then, new technologies, approaches, and applications have been expanding the possibilities of this field of medicine.
