Oct 5 (Reuters) - Dutch gene therapy maker uniQure N.V said on Thursday it will reduce about 20% of total workforce and discontinue investments in more than half of its research and technology projects as part of a restructuring plan to save costs.

The restructuring, however, will not affect the manufacturing of multi-million-dollar gene therapy Hemgenix for CSL Behring, the company said.
