Research

Introduction of four transcription factors Oct-4, Sox2, Klf4 and c-Myc into adult cells can covert them to pluripotent stem cells. These induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) exhibit features characteristic of embryonic stem (ES) cells. These cells have exciting new prospects for biomedical research, drug discovery and for regenerative medicine. Our lab is interested in understanding the mechanism of the reprogramming process and the use of these cells to understand the pathophysiology of human diseases.
