Developing the infrastructure for stem cell research with the Medical College of Wisconsin's Duncan Laboratory
Return to Listing
Established a tissue culture laboratory designed to support human stem cell work
Established the ability of the lab to utilize new technology that became available during the funding period that allowed researchers to turn a patient's skin cells into stem cells that closely resemble ES stem cells
Initiated projects using stem cells to model liver disease and probe the mechanisms that control differentiation of liver cells and cardiac cells identifying a breakthrough discovery that skin cells from patients could be turned into stem cells and those stem cells could be turned into liver cells, which has allowed the direct study of a variety of metabolic disorders and infectious diseases that affect the liver
Disseminated findings in seven published journal articles and 17 speaking engagements or presentations
Used early studies to compete successfully for federal funding support to expand and further develop research
