Our goal is to advance our understanding of stem cell biology with a focus on their genetic manipulation via gene transfer and their potential use for stem cell-based therapy. We believe that by discovering the mechanisms involved in stem cell self-renewal and differentiation we will be able to manipulate stem cell fate and use it as the basis for the correction of several diseases. Project areas in the lab focuses on the use of different stem cell populations, including embryonic stem cells, induced Pluripotent Stem (iPS) cells, hematopoietic stem cells and intestinal stem cells and their genetic manipulation by lentiviral vectors.<\/span><span lang=\"RU\"> <\/span><\/p>\n<p><!--EndFragment--><\/p>\n<h4>Recent publications:<\/h4>\n<p><!--StartFragment--><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span lang=\"RU\">Sommer, C., Stadtfeld, M., Murphy, G.J., Hochedlinger, K., Kotton, D.N., and Mostoslavsky, G. 2008. iPS Cell Generation Using a Single Lentiviral Stem Cell Cassette.
