Stem Cell Gene Therapy for Sickle Cell Disease
Sickle cell disease (SCD), which results from an inherited mutation in the hemoglobin gene that causes red blood cells to "sickle" under conditions of low oxygen, occurs with a frequency…
HPSC based therapy for HIV disease using RNAi to CCR5.
RNA interference is a naturally occurring means to block the function of genes in our body. We propose that RNA interference can be used to block HIV-1 infection and its…
Stem Cell-Mediated Oncocidal Gene Therapy of Glioblastoma (GBM)
Brain tumors (BTs) are incurable, whether they start in the brain or spread there from other sites. Despite advances in surgical, radiation, pharmacologic, and gene therapies, survival with a BT…
Stem Cell-mediated Therapy for High-grade Glioma: Toward Phase I-II Clinical Trials
Despite aggressive multimodal therapy and advances in imaging, surgical and radiation techniques, malignant brain tumors (high-grade gliomas) remain incurable, with survival often measured in months. Treatment failure is largely attributable…
iPS Cell-Based Treatment of Dominant Dystrophic Epidermolysis Bullosa
Genetic skin diseases constitute a diverse group of several hundred diseases that affect up to 2% of the population and include common disease such as psoriasis, atopic dermatitis, and wound…
ZINC FINGER NUCLEASE-BASED STEM CELL THERAPY FOR AIDS
Some years ago it was discovered that patients homozygous for a natural mutation (the Δ32 mutation) in the CCR5 gene are generally resistant to HIV infection by blocking virus entry…
Translational epigenomics: dissecting cell type-specific function of neuropsychiatric risk genes in vivo
Research Objective Our objective is to enable scalable genetic screening to study how different cell types and epigenetic networks are impacted by risk genes implicated in human psychiatric disorders. Impact…
Unraveling nuclear Tau functions using age-equivalent human induced neurons from healthy aging donors and tauopathy patients
Research Objective This project investigates how normal tau protein protects aging neurons. We'll use aging human neurons to understand how tau helps repairing DNA and why this protection fails disease.…
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.…
