Molecular Characterization of hESC and hIPSC-Derived Spinal Motor Neurons
One of the main objectives of stem cell biology is to create physiologically relevant cell types that can be used to either facilitate the study of or directly treat human…
Efficacy and safety of cryopreserved autologous CD34+ HSC transduced with EFS lentiviral vector encoding for human ADA gene in ADA-SCID subjects
In ADA-SCID, allogeneic hematopoietic (blood) stem cell transplants from non-matched sibling donors are a high risk procedure. Additionally, the efficacy of chronic enzyme replacement therapy is uncertain in the long-term. A team at…
Next generation stem cell transplantation approaches for pediatric neurodegenerative disorders
Research Objective A complete methodology for high efficiency, minimal toxicity hematopoietic stem cell transplantation for treatment of pediatric neurodegenerative disorders. Impact Improve treatment and outcomes for patients with neurodegenerative disorders…
Hearing the Silence: Genome-wide Mapping of Cell-Type-Specific Silencers in the Developing Human Brain
Research Objective We will develop genome editing tools to identify silencers that regulate neural stem cell fate, uncovering key DNA elements that guide neurodevelopment and are disrupted in neurodevelopmental diseases…
A novel platform to rescue neurodevelopmental disorders caused by haploinsufficiency
Research Objective We develop a powerful platform to correct gene expression defects caused by haploinsufficiency and will show its ability to identify novel targets using iPSC-derived neurons and cortical organoids.…
Modeling of GATAD2B-associated neurodevelopmental disorder and NuRDopathies: Investigation of cellular & molecular anomalies altering neurodevelopment
Research Objective Human and animal models of NuRD-deficiency will identify NuRD-subtype function in context of neurogenesis. Multi-omic studies will identify/quantify molecular and cellular changes in NuRD-deficiency. Impact NuRD-deficiency causes several…
Modeling and understanding alveolar hypoplasia in Down syndrome using iPSCs-derived alveolar type II cells
Research Objective Understanding alveolar progenitor cell defects in T21 and the genes/pathways associated with them will allow for developing therapeutic approaches for individuals with DS. Impact Although trisomy 21 affects…
