Defining the molecular mechanisms of somatic cell reprogramming
The development of methods to “reprogram” adult cells such as skin cells by simultaneously expressing four specific factors — Oct3/4, Sox2, c-Myc and Klf4 — in order to create cells…

Research Objective We propose to apply scalable platforms for the characterization of CNVs and genes coupled with detailed characterizations of neurodevelopment of the 4 major CNV loci in model systems…
Research Objective Neuropsychiatric disorders correlate to impaired metabolism, though understudied. We will describe how metabolism impacts disorders etiology and identify new, tractable therapeutic strategies. Impact We will uncover metabolic drivers…
Research Objective This project will interrogate interactions, distribution, and function of high-confidence neuropsychiatric disorder risk proteins, and identify convergent pathobiology of patient genetic variants. Impact Datasets and stem cell resources…
Research Objective We provide mechanistic insight into idiopathic Intellectual Disability (ID) and Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) based on aberrant redox-mediated posttranslational modifications related to air pollution Impact How air pollution…
Research Objective We will uncover pathways through which ASD mutations cause disease and close the gap from disease research to therapeutic testing using organoids, primary human neurons, machine learning and…
The goal of this project is to support the discovery and evaluation of novel therapeutics using stem cell-based models and drug and CRISPR screening. The facility will provide California researchers…
The Cal Poly Humboldt Shared Resource Laboratory for Human Stem Cell-Based Modeling (SRL-hSC) will provide modeling resources and educational offerings to researchers, educators, and students in our rural and remote…
