Biography
Dr. Kaserman is an Assistant Professor of Medicine at the Chobanian and Avedisian School of Medicine and a member of the Pulmonary, Allergy, Sleep and Critical Care Medicine section as well as a researcher in the Wilson Lab at the Center for Regenerative Medicine of Boston University and Boston Medical Center. His research has focused on studying the biological underpinnings of the genetic disease alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency using pluripotent stem cell models combined with gene editing technology in order to rationally develop potential future disease modifying and curative therapies.
