Research Objective To integrate emulsion microfluidics-based encapsulation with AI-powered imaging to develop a high-throughput pipeline for stem cell-based embryo models. Impact We will overcome key bottlenecks to drive breakthroughs in…
Research Objective We study how the inactive X chromosome aberrantly reactivates in female pluripotent stem cells and develop ways to prevent it, enabling accurate modeling of female biology for research…
Research Objective Development of a human stem cell-derived, spatially-patterned, mature and functional human synthetic kidney organoid (hSKO) model as a platform technology for basic and translational kidney research. Impact Lack…
Research Objective Our project will identify molecular and cellular changes induced by specific genetic variants implicated in schizophrenia and autism spectrum disorder in stem cells, neuroprogenitor cells and neurons. Impact…
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…
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.…
Research Objective This proposal leverages pluripotent stem cell models to understand the principles by which changes in gene and protein dosage affect human neural and facial progenitor development and cause…
Research Objective We are building a foundational platform for developing genome editing technologies that increase patient coverage by 20-40X and can be applied to over 700 genetic diseases in diverse…
Research Objective We will determine how viral infections alter lung progenitor cells thereby impairing their ability to regenerate the lungs and in turn promoting lung fibrosis. Impact We will define…
Research Objective We will build a foundational model and experimental platform to catalog all genes that promote and protect against PAH, with the potential to extend to many other developmental…
