Confronting the root causes of disease through collaboration and innovation
Mary Regier, PhD is the first director of the newly minted ISCRM Genomics Core, a facility located on UW Medicine’s South Lake Union campus and available to all ISCRM faculty members and students in ISCRM-affiliated labs. Read More
Major grants, pilot funding, and powerful technology cores are fueling exciting progress for a collaborative community of ISCRM muscle researchers. Read More
ISCRM researchers use kidney organoids to demonstrate that COVID-19 is capable of infecting kidney cells directly and test whether a synthetic protein designed by the Institute for Protein Design (IPD) might be capable of preventing infection. Read More

ISCRM researchers have developed a tool to selectively control the PRC2 complex – an epigenetic regulator that influences cell fate across multiple stages of development. That tool is a computer-designed protein binder engineered in partnership with the Institute for Protein Design (IPD). Read More
For many years, efforts to remuscularize injured hearts have been stymied by engraftment arrhythmias that can cause the heart to beat too quickly. In a promising breakthrough, researchers in the Murry Lab have discovered a combination of gene edits that quelled the irregular heartbeats in lab animals. Listen to ISCRM Director Chuck Murry discuss the findings and what they could mean for patients in the future.
