Research Profile
The emphasis of our lab is to develop innovative regenerative medicine approaches with a focus on understanding the underlying molecular and cellular mechanisms resulting in autoimmune type 1 diabetes (T1D) in humans. The lab employs state-of-the-art human pluripotent stem cell technology and primary human cell/tissue culture with genome engineering approaches to model and potentially treat patients. The Russ lab has successfully worked on different aspects of translational research, which led to several original and important contributions to the fields of pancreatic beta-, thymus- and pluripotent stem cell- biology. The lab’s long-term goal is to understand why T1D develops, to develop novel intervention and treatment modalities, and to train and enable the next generation of scientists focused on regenerative medicine strategies.
