Evelyn Abraham
As an ISCRM postdoctoral fellow, Evelyn Abraham will validate reprogramming of human Müller glia as a treatment for retinal degenerative diseases. She will use patient-derived retinal organoids to model late-stage […] Read More about Evelyn Abraham
Molly McCloskey
As a Postdoctoral Fellow, McCloskey is part of a team developing gene therapeutics to treat Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS), a fatal neuromuscular disease. In order to combat challenges in drug […] Read More about Molly McCloskey
Riya Keshri
As a postdoctoral fellow, Riya Keshri will be developing treatment for various muscle atrophies including Sarcopenia using synthetic AI-designed proteins. Dr. Keshri will be identifying synthetic designed binders against RTKs/RSTKs […] Read More about Riya Keshri
Giulia Spennati
With an ISCRM fellowship, Giulia Spennati, a Postdoctoral Fellow in the Freedman and Fu Lab, aims to identify the molecular and mechanical mechanism leading to podocyte injury in kidney organoids exposed to hyperglycemic […] Read More about Giulia Spennati
Marina Pavlou, PhD
ISCRM fellowship funding will allow Marina Pavlou, PhD to test the potential of growth factors Ascl1 and Atoh1 to reinstate developmental plasticity in adult non-human primate Müller glia. The goal […] Read More about Marina Pavlou, PhD
Christian Mandrycky, PhD
As a postdoctoral fellow, Christian Mandrycky will test a hypothesis that MYH3 mutations (implicated in the skeletal muscle disorder Distal arthrogryposis) alter both the mechanics of the contractile apparatus as […] Read More about Christian Mandrycky, PhD
Damien Detraux, PhD
In collaboration with the Institute for Protein Design (IPD – UW), postdoctoral fellow Damien Detraux will use synthetic AI-designed proteins to robustly and specifically target signaling pathways though RTKs-modulating mini-binders […] Read More about Damien Detraux, PhD
