Sarah John

With support from the ISCRM fellowship, Sarah John aims to investigate how the dysfunction of TAOK1 kinase results in perturbed early brain development and macrocephaly. Sarah will utilize hiPSCs harboring […] Read More

Jasmine Villegas

Cystic Fibrosis (CF) is a life-limiting genetic disease caused by a mutation of CFTR, eventually leading to respiratory failure. With an ISCRM fellowship award, Jasime Villegas aims to create a CRISPR-Cas9 […] Read More

Scott Schactler

As an ISCRM Fellow, Scott Schactler is characterizing the microenvironment of the lncRNA Xist during X-chromosome inactivation using photocatalyst-powered super-resolution proximity-labeling tools. Using Oligonucleotide-directed proximity-interactome MAPing (O-MAP) in a cell […] Read More

Jack Hoye

As an ISCRM fellow, Jack will explore using synthetic biology tools to control stem cell differentiation in 3 dimensions. By genetically engineering stem cells to uptake and use new-to-nature amino […] Read More

Kathryn (Kat) Powers

Unlike non-mammalian vertebrates, hair cell damage in the mature mammalian cochlea leads to permanent hearing loss. There is great need for the discovery of new factors that promote hair cell […] Read More

Brad Hansen

In his fellowship project, Brad will investigate methods to generate spermatogonial cells (the base cell of spermatogenesis) from induced pluripotent stem cells using directed stem cell differentiation alongside a complex […] Read More

Morgan Jones

ISCRM fellowship funds will enable Morgan Jones to determine how a poised chromatin state is initially formed as well as how terminal effector and memory precursor CD8+ T cells maintain […] Read More

Kalen Robeson

To improve the field’s understanding of MBNL1-directed transcriptome maturation, Kalen Robeson will use human iPSC models to determine the role of MBNL1 in differentiation into skeletal muscle and to determine […] Read More

Alex Ochs

Alex Ochs will use his ISCRM fellowship to conduct a proof-of-concept computational modeling evaluation of whether subthreshold optogenetic stimulation to induce a weak repolarizing current could suppress engraftment arrhythmia. The […] Read More

Brizzia Munoz Robles

With her ISCRM fellowship, Brizzia Munoz Robles will develop a generalizable strategy to customize the biochemical properties of cell-laden biomaterials in 4D through functional protein photoassembly. The goal is to […] Read More
