5-year-old Jakob Guziak born with ADA-SCID, a deadly immune disorder, received gene therapy developed by Dr. Donald Kohn @Kohn_Lab. “It’s not just a new life for Jakob, but it's a new life for us as parents,” his mother Andrea Fernandez said. stemcell.ucla.edu/news/after…

A $14.7M @CIRMnews grant will help Dr. Donald Kohn @Kohn_Lab advance a gene therapy for ADA-SCID toward FDA approval, making this life-saving therapy that has so far successfully treated 48 of 50 children in clinical trials, available to kids everywhere. stemcell.ucla.edu/news/donal…

How do we take the shining example of Emily Whitehead, cured of her pediatric cancer, and scale it? Dr. Crystal Mackall @MackallLab, Dr Donald Kohn @Kohn_Lab, and a team of fellow SMEs across all facets of the problem space offer an actionable path. #PlatformCures #HealthJustice
To correct the market failures around pediatric #celltherapies and #genetherapies, Crystal Mackall & colleagues propose a new model to lead late-stage development and commercialize these outside of traditional routes in the US. @MackallLab @StanfordMed nature.com/articles/s41591-0…
