GICD/CVRI Seminar
Marius Wernig, MD, PhD
Marius Wernig’s lab is interested in pluripotent stem cell biology and the molecular determinants of neural cell fate decisions. His lab was the first to generate functional neuronal cells reprogrammed directly from skin fibroblasts, which he termed induced neuronal (iN) cells. The lab is now working on identifying the molecular mechanisms underlying induced lineage fate changes, the phenotypic consequences of disease-causing mutations in human neurons and other neural lineages as well as the development of novel therapeutic gene targeting and cell transplantation–based strategies for a variety of monogenetic diseases.
