Fueled in part by a New Investigator Award from the Cancer Consortium, ISCRM faculty member Julie Mathieu, PhD is partnering with scientists at the Institute for Protein Design and Fred Hutch to develop new treatments for renal cell carcinoma. Read More
Zebrafish aren't just for universities anymore. With a little help from ISCRM, high students in Chehalis are now using zebrafish in their advanced molecular genetics class. Read More
For many years, efforts to muscularized 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 tests. Listen to ISCRM Director Chuck Murry discuss the findings and what they could mean for patients in the future.
