Official Collaborated with:
EPSCs for Genomic Medicine of Immune Disease
Apply EPSCs technology to study immunological disorders focusing on autoimmunity and primary immunodeficiency, and develop drug target discovery for immunological disorders
- Using somatic cells from patients and healthy subjects for EPSC cell lines generation
- Transduce normal human EPSC cell lines with disease-associated genetic variants
- Differentiation of immune cells and tissue organoids from patient and isogenic EPSC cell lines for modelling disease pathogenesis and drug screening
