Unlocking the regenerative potential of hepatocyte plasticity for diseases of the biliary system
Research Objective The research will generate the know-how for replacing lost or injured bile ducts in the liver by reprogramming an abundant and related cell type that normally has a…
Immune cloaking of human stem cell-derived insulin-producing cells for curative cell therapy without immunosuppression
Research Objective The goal of our project is to generate cells for replacement therapy in patients that have reduced ability to trigger the immune response in the recipient and therefore…
hPSC-derived enteric ganglioids for cell therapy in gastrointestinal motility disorders
Research Objective The proposed aims will enable the generation, purification and characterization of enteric neurons from diverse hiPSCs and assessment of their efficacy for cell therapy in GI motility disorders.…
Genome editing of human Tregs to enable combinational tolerogenic therapy with T cell-targeted biologics for T1D
Research Objective Genome-edited autologous regulatory T cells for promoting immune tolerance in combination with T-cell-targeting therapies Impact We focus on type 1 diabetes in this proof-of-concept study, but the therapeutic…
Drug discovery for gastrointestinal motility disorders using hPSC-derived enteric ganglioids
Research Objective Our goal is to use stem cell models to identify a small molecule drug candidate for GI motility disorders. Impact The candidate will be used for severe gastrointestinal…
Assessing the Functional, Immunologic and Microbiologic Characteristics of Human Livers Created in Chimeric Pigs
Research Objective Generating human liver using pig as a bioreactor Impact The livers produced will be used for transplantation into patients with end-stage liver disease, metabolic disorders, and for metastatic…
Gene Therapy for SLC6A8 Creatine Transporter Disorder
Research Objective The objective is to define a final therapeutic candidate for an effective gene therapy for mutations of the creatine transporter SLC6A8, a major cause of X-linked intellectual disability…
A Novel Therapy for Sanfilippo B
Research Objective To develop a Stem Cell therapy for Sanfilippo B syndrome. Impact There is no treatment for Sanfilippo syndrome, and other therapeutic approaches have failed in clinics. This proposal…
Bioengineering human stem cell-derived beta cell organoids to monitor cell health in real time and improve therapeutic outcomes in patients
Research Objective We will generate nanoprobe-containing stem cell-derived human beta cells that can be monitored in real time in response to inflammatory stress upon transplantation in patients with type 1…
