This project seeks to test if an autologous induced-pluripotent stem cell-based cell therapeutic strategy will obviate the need of immunosuppression after pancreatic transplantation and provide a well-defined quality controlled population of ?-cells.

This Cowles Fellowship donation will bring Dr. Sukhvinder Singh to Texas Biomed to hone his skills as an HIV researcher. In particular he would like to explore HIV latency as an obstacle to complete eradication of the virus. His projects hypothesis is that the long non-coding RNAs (LncRNA), plays a role in the establishment of HIV latency. We have designed a systematic and multidimensional approach to address this hypothesis.

Musculoskeletal injury is a significant problem in the U.S. Military and civilian populations. As such, there is a critical need to develop methods and systems to accurately assess the risk of injury during military operational activities, vehicular accidents, and other potentially injurious environments in order to develop countermeasures and systems to mitigate this risk. However, advances in developing injury countermeasures have been severely restricted by the limitations of available tools to determine the biomedical basis of human injury.
