Nearly 20 years ago, scientists discovered how to turn back the clock on cellular identity. By introducing a small set of genetic factors critical for cell fate, they reprogrammed adult human cells into a flexible, early developmental state that can self-renew and differentiate into nearly any cell type. These cells, induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs), have reshaped how scientists around the world model and study disease.

Scientists at JAX and NYSCF are using patient-derived stem cells and genomic tools to transform disease modeling and accelerate cures.

Genomics is already transforming how doctors diagnose and treat patients, yet many health care providers graduate without formal genetics training. The Jackson Laboratory's Clinical Education team and the University of New England are working to change that.

The virtual Applied Genomics course blends foundational science, real-world case studies, and ethical discussions to prepare students for the future of precision medicine—before they even enter medical school.

We sat down with Daniel Paull, JAX's new vice president of discovery and platform development, to talk about the JAX-NYSCF Collaborative, the importance of induced pluripotent stem cells, the future of precision medicine, and more.

Paull has spent his career at the intersection of biology and engineering. He oversees the NYSCF Global Stem Cell Array® and helped develop automation systems for generating iPSCs at unprecedented scale — advancing disease modeling and drug discovery. He leads NYSCF efforts to combine automation, imaging and AI to uncover hidden disease features.
