In my lab, we use stem cells especially induced pluripotent stem cells (iPS) for disease modeling, and find new approaches to cure disease. iPS cells were reprogrammed from patient-specific cells with known genetic diseases. They were characterized and stock for further uses. On the other hand, we are also producing some potential recombinant proteins to be used in combination with stem cells for cell therapy.
