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…
The areas of focus for our SRL will include induced pluripotent stem cell generation and characterization, cell differentiation and generation of a microvascular tissue model and in vivo models. Our…
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 New knowledge relating to protein-protein interactions that drive vulnerability of different cell types to neurodegeneration disease mutations using Huntington's disease as a paradigm. Impact The studies will inform…
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 Study the neurological disorder Rett syndrome using neurons derived from genetically engineered human pluripotent stem cells and develop platforms to screen drugs for this disease in live cells.…
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…
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…
