ISCRM faculty member Patrick Boyle has received a five-year, $2.9 million grant from the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute to improve outcomes for stroke patients by identifying and testing individualized strategies for diagnosing and treating strokes. Read More
Francisco Saavedra Cantillana PhD, a Postoc in the Escobar Lab, has been named one of ten 2022 Pew Latin American Fellows in the Biomedical Sciences. Read More
Laura Crisa, MD, PhD and Farid Moussavi-Harami, MD have received prestigious awards from the John H. Tietze Foundation Trust that will help fuel promising research underway in their labs. Read More
In the Freedman Lab, knocking out primary cilia reveals insights about the role the organelles play in cell fate and disease development. Read More
Using gene-editing tools to decrease expression of lamin B1 in two stem cell models, the researchers show that deletion of lamin B1 causes change in stem cell function and nuclear shape – and contributes to leukemia progression. 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
Stevens, an assistant professor of bioengineering and of laboratory medicine and pathology, was selected for her work on pioneering approaches to map and replicate human tissues to advance bioengineered organs toward clinical therapy. Read More
In a study that came with some unexpected findings, ISCRM researchers reveal new details about the role an RNA binding protein (MBNL1) plays in the steps that lead to scarring in the heart. Read More
Kelly Stevens has received an Allen Distinguished Investigator Award to support her work to map and understand how human livers develop. Read More
In 2015, a team of inquisitive young scientists, absorbed in the study of metabolism, regeneration, and biological development, set out to answer a question. Could the way cells produce energy help explain why certain organisms have an envious ability to regenerate heart tissue after injury? And, if so, could that knowledge be used to help heal human hearts? Read More
