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 goal is to map altered Trisomy 21 developmental hematopoiesis to understand the first steps of leukemia initiation in Myeloid Leukemia of Down syndrome Impact We will provide…
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 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 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.…
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 will identify genetic regulators and intercellular signals that promote islet cell function, and apply our work to advance stem cell biology for generating replacement islets to reverse…
