We have a long-standing interest in developing stem cell based therapies for regenerative medicine. Our main current effort is on Parkinson's disease (PD). We have developed protocols to derive midbrain dopamine neurons from human ES and iPS cells capable of engraftment in mouse, rat and monkey models of PD. Based on such data we were awarded a consortium award from NYSTEM to pursue the first clinical application of human ES cell based dopamine neurons in PD patients.
In a large-scale genomic analysis of the most common and aggressive type of ovarian cancer, researchers from Memorial Sloan Kettering and other centers identified genetic mutations and pathways that set the disease apart from other types of ovarian cancer and other solid tumors.
