Funded Activity Summary

Human embryonic stem cells (hESCs) can form all the cell types in the body. Cells made from hESCs could be used to test new drugs prior to trials in patients and eventually to replace tissues damaged through accident or disease. My laboratory is turning hESCs into blood, heart and insulin producing cells. We can genetically modify such that the cells fluoresce whenever they develop into these cell types. These 'glowing' hESC lines help us to make different cell types more efficiently.
