| dbo:abstract | Alexander Marson is an American biologist and infectious disease doctor, specializing in genetics, human immunology, and CRISPR genome engineering. He is the Director of the Gladstone-UCSF Institute of Genomic Immunology and a tenured Professor with a dual appointment in Department of Medicine and the Department of Microbiology & Immunology at the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF). He is best known for his work with Clustered Regularly Interspaced Short Palindromic Repeats (CRISPR), specifically for his advances in furthering understanding of the genomics of human T cell function. Marson also currently holds affiliations with the Parker Institute for Cancer Immunotherapy (PICI), the Chan Zuckerberg Biohub, and the Innovative Genomics Institute (IGI). Marson's team is pioneering new CRISPR gene editing technologies that aim to offer faster, cheaper and more precise ways to re-write DNA programs in human immune cells. With these tools, the lab is engineering cells to treat a wide range of diseases. They are designing programs to make cells that can recognize and eliminate cancer, cells that are resistant to infections like HIV, and cells that can reduce inflammation in autoimmune diseases like multiple sclerosis, type 1 diabetes, and rheumatoid arthritis. Reprogrammed human immune cells are emerging as a new class of “living” medicines. (en) |
