Collaborating faculty: Sheldon Danziger, IPPS and School of Social Work; Sandra Danziger, School of Social Work; Mary Corcoran and Gary Solon, IPPS and LS&A; and Lauren Rich, IPPS.
The project goal is to create the infrastructure for the study of the basic mechanisms by which organs and tissues are formed and maintained. This knowledge is needed as researchers attempt to develop long-lasting, artificial organs, stem cell therapies for treatment of blood disorders, and new organ transplantation systems.
The project director is Seigo Izumo, Medical School. Collaborating faculty: Deborah Gumucio, Medical School; Craig Harris, School of Public Health; David Mooney, School of Dentistry and College of Engineering; Peter Polverini, School of Dentistry; and Kathryn Tosney, LS&A.
