Resumen del experto

Dr. Bouhassira’s work focuses on prompting human embryonic stem cells to develop into hematopoietic (blood-forming), as well as stem cells, and into red blood cells. This work could potentially help patients needing transfusions and save lives by expanding the production of customized cells that could be transplanted without risk of rejection. The cells produced by Dr. Bouhassira can also be used to deliver therapeutic proteins to the circulatory system. 

Dr. Bouhassira’s research also aims to find cures for sickle cell disease by developing novel gene therapy strategies.
