State-funded ISCRM Fellowships enable students at the undergraduate, graduate, and postdoctoral level to advance research efforts aimed at addressing the root causes of diseases. 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 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
The 2021-2022 ISCRM Fellows were selected from a deep pool of undergraduate students, PhD students, and postdoc. Each ISCRM Fellow has received a state-funded fellowship to support their research. Read More
New data presented by ISCRM Director Chuck Murry suggests gene-editing may be the key to clearing a major hurdle for researchers hoping to remuscularize injured hearts with stem cell-derived cardiomyocytes Read More
Thelma Escobar, PhD, joins the University of Washington as an Assistant Professor of Biochemistry and an ISCRM faculty member Read More
Simulations shed light on heart-scarring similarities among patients with atrial fibrillation and those who had embolic stroke but no atrial fibrillation. Read More
ISCRM investigators use rainbow cell technology to demonstrate that injected heart cells proliferate, a finding that could help researchers enhance the efficacy of cell therapy for heart disease and other conditions. Read More
Researchers from the Ruohola-Baker Lab have collaborated with the Institute for Protein Design on a technology in which designed proteins assemble antibodies in nanocage structures, increasing their potency against cancer, COVID-19, and other diseases. Read More
