Biotech firm Cell Genesys was up smartly at night after ending the day session 10% higher. The company uses gene therapy to treat diseases such as cancer and cardiovascular disease and reported positive results for its hemophilia therapy earlier this week.

Gene therapy has been making headlines lately. It is the practice of dissecting a virus and putting therapeutic genetic material inside the virus. Those viruses are injected into the patient to ease symptoms or cure the disease.

There have been technical problems and side effects with this type of therapy, including one death. But recent breakthroughs have created a buzz about the treatment.

Cell Genesys was lately up 1 11/16 to 29 on 25,000 Island shares.
