Proud of our team tackling the challenges ahead for genuine cardiac remuscularization. Thank you Lauren Neidig Silvia Marchiano Alessandro Bertero Melissa Robinson MD, Chuck Murry and Robb MacLellan and UW Medicine for one step of many towards offering this strategy to our patients.

Congrats to Chris Burke and surgical team for first cardiac gene therapy at UW Medicine. Many thanks to UWashington Heart Institute Clinical Trials Unit Kate Kearney Dr. Bill Lombardi and sponsor XyloCor for this milestone towards novel regenerative therapies for our patients.


🤩 with Mr Chair Douglas Drachman and amazing mentor Doreen DeFaria Yeh, MD and friends Mass General Heart grads! What joy!


How it started vs how it’s going One of the major roadblocks for #heartreneration is the onset of arrhythmias after hPSC-CMs #celltherapy. We were finally able to overcome this adverse reaction with the #MEDUSA project, published this week on Cell Stem Cell; so proud of our team!

Many thanks to Chris Burke, Kate Kearney, Dr. Bill Lombardi, Patrick Goleski and Kelley Branch, MD, MSc for making this important trial possible with UW Medicine as the lead enrolling site!

First ever engraftment and maturation of autologous iPSC-cardios post-infarct without immunosuppression (out to 14 months). Incredible bicoastal collab with Cindy Dunbar & Manfred Boehm’s team NIH NHLBI to pull this off—what a journey! ISCRM at UW UW Medicine
