iPS Cell Technology, Gene Editing and Disease Research
CCR Eminent Lectures
Rudolf Jaenisch, a Whitehead Institute Founding Member, focuses on understanding epigenetic regulation of gene expression (the biological mechanisms that affect how genetic information is converted into cell structures but that don’t alter the genes in the process). Most recently, this work has led to major advances in our understanding of embryonic stem cells and “induced pluripotent stem” (IPS) cells, which appear identical to embryonic stem cells but can be created from adult cells without using an egg.
In 2007, the Jaenisch lab was one of three labs worldwide that reported successfully takin...

Loss of Skills and Onset Patterns in Neurodevelopment Disorders: Understanding the Neurobological Mechanisms
The NIH Autism Coordinating Committee in a cross-NIH committee that coordinates scientific activities related to autism research, including developing initiatives and convening scientific workshops to identify gap areas and opportunities for advancing the field. The NIH ACC has identified a need for identifying scientific methods to better understand the phenomenon of loss of skills characterizing the onset of symptoms in a subset of children with ASD and related disorders.

2015 Maurice B. Burg Lecture: Opening Doors Worldwide Through Medical Science
The major lesson I learned from a four-decade career in medical science is that we have a unique opportunity to make the world a better place. As a Johns Hopkins faculty member, our research group discovered the aquaporin water channels that facilitate the movement of water across cell membranes. This led to multiple international collaborations including studies with renal physiologists in Denmark, neuroscientists in Norway, structural biologists in Switzerland and Japan, and field workers in Africa. While the practical value of these discoveries is just emerging, valuable new preventive strategies and treatments for mu...
