Mohammad Rafi (Persian: محمد رفیع ) obtained his PhD from University of Montpellier, France, in 1970. Investigating lysosomal storage diseases, he focused on gene therapy of neurodegenerative disorders using globoid cell leukodystrophy (Krabbe disease) animal models. With successful AAVrh10-mediated therapy in animal models, his research is moving towards human clinical trials.
