Research/Clinical Interest
Title
Creation of patient-specific gene corrected hematopoietic stem cells in inherited bone marrow failure syndromes using inducible pluripotent stem cell technology
Description
The major research interest of Dr. Goldman’s laboratory relates to understanding the molecular and immunologic mechanisms of bone marrow failure syndromes and congenital immune deficiencies, and translating this information to the promotion of novel stem therapies for these disorders. His work previously focused on Dyskeratosis congenita (DC) and he was involved in the discovery of the autosomal dominant form of this disease, AD DC. More recently, he has been involved in studies assessing the defect in hematopoietic stem cells in DC, and in collaboration with the Daley Lab at Dana Farber, applied iPS cell technology to correct the underlying deficiency in telomerase in reprogrammed DC cells. Studies are currently being performed that are assessing the role of telomerase in defects in oxidative stress and DNA repair. Dr. Goldman has also participated in pre-clinical gene therapy studies for a number of other bone marrow failure disorders and immune deficiencies, and has created an extensive tissue repository with patient samples from many different conditions, including Diamond Blackfan Anemia (DBA), Shwachman Diamond Syndrome, and Fanconi’s anemia. More recently his research interests have shifted to DBA, and in concert with the Townes laboratory, is actively working on gene correction strategies for this condition using iPS cell technology and homologous recombineering. Through our collaboration with Dr. Lamb, the Director of the Stem Cell Processing laboratory and GMP facility at UAB, it is our collective hope that corrected patient iPS cells can be differentiated into hematopoietic stem cells for future transplantation into patients with DBA or other disorders of hematopoiesis.
