Stem Cell Biology
We are driving the development of therapies for currently incurable diseases, including kidney, heart and skeletal muscle diseases, leukemia, brain cancer, respiratory diseases and juvenile diabetes.
Our research
Using cutting-edge stem cell technologies, we seek to understand the causes of childhood diseases, screen for new treatments and advance regenerative medicine.
Our researchers are experts in stem cells, gene editing, transcriptomics, phosphoproteomics and bioengineering technologies that can be used to model complex disease mechanisms and develop new stem cell-based therapies.
The Theme encompasses research groups investigating diseases such as kidney, heart, blood, skeletal muscle and respiratory diseases, neurodevelopmental disorders, childhood cancers and diabetes. Our Stem Cell Ethics and Policy group contributes to the ethical, legal and social frameworks of stem cell research and related technologies.
Underpinning this expertise and driving innovation are our state-of-the-art stem cell facilities: the iPSC Derivation and Gene Editing Facility and Stem Cell Based Drug Discovery Facility.
