Leukemias are cancers of the blood forming cells that afflict both children and adults. Many drugs have been developed to treat leukemias and related diseases. These drugs are often effective…
Our Shared Resource Laboratory will expand access to stem cell-derived models to support research and educational programs with two main goals: democratize access to state-of-the-art models and technology among a…
Research Objective This study will address gaps in our understanding of how normal and cancer stem cells differ in their epigenetic states, helping develop new cancer-stem-cell-targeting therapis. Impact The long-term…
Research Objective Our goal is to develop new gene editing methods for producing universal, off-the-shelf, therapeutic T cells from induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSC) that can be applied to a…
Research Objective Our research will determine how aging of human blood stem cells leads to dramatic increases in disorders of platelets, cells that normally prevent bleeding but form harmful clots…
Research Objective This proposal aims to develop a novel cell based vaccine for the treatment of cancer. The vaccine would be derived from stem cells and be personalized to the…
Research Objective This DISC2 tests a strategy to target survival and self-renewal in glioma stem cells (GSC), and will identify a therapeutic candidate for safety, dosing and efficacy testing. Impact…
Research Objective This personalized chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cell therapy will attack a wider range of cancer cells, and block cancer's defense mechanisms to empower the immune system to…
Research Objective Genetically modified cells that help control immune reactions Impact Improved treatment for patients undergoing transplantation Major Proposed Activities To identify the optimal source of regulatory T cells for…
Research Objective To make a drug that kills breast cancer stem cells Impact Metastatic breast cancer is incurable. The goal is to make a drug leading to cures Major Proposed…
