Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis serves as the national coordinating center for the program, called the Human Pangenome Reference Consortium.
Computer software developed at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis can predict what happens to complex gene networks when individual genes are missing or dialed up more than usual. Such genetic networks play key roles in early embryonic development, guiding stem cells to form specific cell types that then build tissues and organs.
Researchers at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis have received a five-year, $11.7 million grant to study human genes and nerve cells to better understand how cells transmit pain and to identify new ways to treat it.
Researchers at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis have found a new druggable pathway that potentially could be used to help prevent Alzheimer’s dementia.
The Whitehall Foundation has awarded a three-year $225,000 grant to Tristan Qingyun Li, assistant professor of neuroscience and of genetics at Washington University School of Medicine
Samantha A. Morris, PhD, an assistant professor of developmental biology and of genetics at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis, has received the New York Stem Cell Foundation’s Robertson Stem Cell Investigator Award.
This episode of ‘Show Me the Science’ focuses on a saliva test developed by School of Medicine scientists to detect the virus that causes COVID-19
Now, scientists have identified mutations in single genes that can be responsible for at least some cases of cerebral palsy, according to a new study led by researchers at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis, the University of Arizona College of Medicine in Phoenix, and Yale University.
