Program provides support for:

• NYSCF – Druckenmiller Fellows

The NYSCF Investigator Program

supports early career scientists, creating and promoting a global

community of leading stem cell and neuroscience researchers. The Program provides support for:

• NYSCF – Robertson Investigators• NYSCF – Robertson Stem Cell Prize Recipients

The NYSCF Research Institute

Laboratories conduct the most advanced human stem cell research and develop pioneering technologies for the field. Independent and privately funded,

NYSCF takes a “team science” approach to advance cures, collaborating with leading

global partners to unravel the root causes of disease through

the power of stem cells.

The New York Stem Cell Foundation Fellowship Program supports the most talented young postdoctoral scientists at

critical junctures in their careers in the pursuit of innovative and groundbreaking stem cell

research. The Program provides support for the NYSCF – Druckenmiller Fellowship Awards.

Fellows are based at premier academic and medical institutions. All fellows receive an

annual stipend and additional support. NYSCF fosters its community of young scientists

through scientific retreats, an annual conference, and other events.

Support for the program is provided by Fiona and Stan Druckenmiller.

2017 NYSCF – DRUCKENMILLER FELLOWS

RAPHAEL LIS, PHDWeill Cornell Medical CollegeFaculty Sponsor: Shahin Rafii, MDTransplanting Stem Cells to Treat Sickle Cell Anemia

MARIA MARYANOVICH, PHDAlbert Einstein College of MedicineFaculty Sponsor: Paul Frenette, MDUnderstanding How Aging Affects Blood Stem Cell Production

SANGBUM PARK, PHD

JULIA TCW, PHD

Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai

Faculty Sponsor: Valentina Greco, PhD

Faculty Sponsor: Alison Goate, PhD

Studying the Interaction Between Skin Stem Cells and the Immune System

Using Stem Cells to Study Genetic Factors for Alzheimer’s Disease

Dr. Lis is aiming to find a cure for sickle cell anemia, a disorder that causes red blood cells to become misshapen and break down. He hopes to both study the disease and develop a potential treatment by correcting the mutation in tissue from affected patients and then converting the corrected cells to blood stem cells. These stem cells should eventually develop into healthy blood cells. This research could provide an approach to generate an unlimited supply of healthy red blood cells to replace the deformed ones caused by the sickle cell mutation.

Dr. Maryanovich is studying the effects of aging on the environment in which blood stem cells are produced. Her preliminary research has shown that aging leads to the loss of nerves that penetrate the bone marrow, and that adding back neural signals to older bone marrow can significantly rejuvenate blood stem cell function. Her research will specifically evaluate the role of nerves on the longevity of stem cells that support blood formation. This approach will help advance therapies for blood diseases associated with aging.

Dr. Park’s research focuses on wound repair, a complex process that requires the participation of multiple cell types coexisting in the tissue. A key goal is to understand how stem cells and immune cells interact during the repair process. Dr. Park will first identify changes in the real-time behaviors of immune cells that are associated with stem cell behaviors and then define the functional interactions between these two cell types in different parts of the skin. These studies will help scientists better understand chronic wound repair and tissue regeneration.

Dr. TCW is interested in understanding Alzheimer’s disease. Her research is focused on a mutant form of Apolipoprotein E (APOE), a major genetic risk factor for Alzheimer’s disease. These studies will provide an opportunity to evaluate the APOE genetic contribution to neurodegeneration associated with the disease by using brain cells derived from human induced pluripotent stem cells. Through this research, Dr. TCW hopes to better understand how the APOE gene mutation specifically contributes to Alzheimer’s.

TAE WAN KIM, PHDMemorial Sloan Kettering Cancer CenterFaculty Sponsor: Lorenz Studer, MDStudying Cell Replacement Therapy to Treat Parkinson’s Disease

Dr. Kim is working on a cell replacement therapy as a treatment for Parkinson’s disease by utilizing stem cells to permanently repair and replace damaged cells in the brain. While the current protocols may be sufficient to initiate early stage clinical trails, there is ample room to further improve on the final brain cell product that results from these stem cells. This treatment would effectively provide an unlimited source of healthy brain cells and stand as an alternative to current pharmacological methods.

BENJAMIN LIN, PHDNew York University School of MedicineFaculty Sponsor: Ruth Lehmann, PhDVisualizing the Movement of Stem Cells for Potential Use in Regenerative Medicine

Dr. Lin studies stem cells that naturally exist in our bodies and transport themselves to different parts of the body where they are needed for cell repair or regeneration. In order to understand how these stem cells can be utilized to enhance regeneration, he is working to identify how these cells release themselves from their starting positions in the body and how they move to the next location. This research has implications to improve upon stem cell based transplantation therapies.

YING LIU, PHDWeill Cornell Medical CollegeFaculty Sponsor: Shahin Rafii, MDExploring the Role of Key Genes in Stem Cell Regulation

Dr. Liu is aiming to uncover the defects that are responsible for male infertility by identifying key changes to the chromosome that could potentially prevent the deleterious effects of cancer treatments, such as chemotherapy or radiation, which can result in sterility in up to 50% of patients. This research could lead to treatments to prevent or even reverse infertility and lead to the development of a method to convert stem cells into functional reproductive cells.

LAURA ANDRES-MARTIN, PHDWeill Cornell Medical CollegeFaculty Sponsor: Marco Seandel MD, PhDUsing Stem Cells to Understand How Mutations Can Cause Diseases

Dr. Andres-Martin is exploring the effect paternal age has on the incidence of complex disorders in children, such as autism, schizophrenia, congenital heart disease, and cancer. She has identified this paternal age effect (PAE) resulting in mutant sperm-forming stem cells of older fathers, where these mutant cells are in competition with normal cells. She also intends to screen for mutant reproductive cells as a preventative clinical measure.

DAFNE CAMPIGLI DI GIAMMARTINO, PHDWeill Cornell Medical CollegeFaculty Sponsor: Effie Apostolou, PhDUnderstanding Cellular Identity for Applications in Regenerative Medicine

Dr. Campigli Di Giammartino is aiming to shed light on a novel mechanism that induces normal cell types to acquire stem cell-like properties. The current understanding of this process revolves around the presence of specific transcription factors, proteins involved in gene expression. Her research supports the notion that physical rearranging of chromatin, the building blocks of chromosomes, is also an important part of the process.

HONGDA LI, PHD

BRETT SHOOK, PHD

The Rockefeller UniversityFaculty Sponsor: Joseph G. Gleeson, MDModeling a Neurodevelopmental Disorder Using Stem Cells

Dr. Li’s research focuses on primacy microcephaly (PM), a neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by a reduction in brain size at birth, usually caused by defects in cell division. He has identified mutations in proteins involved in cell division in PM patients and plans to create stem cell models to better understand the role these mutations might have in the process of cell division. He will further test some therapeutic solutions for the disorder, which currently has no cure.

2015 NYSCF – DRUCKENMILLER FELLOWS

Yale UniversityFaculty Sponsor: Valerie Horsley, PhDUnderstanding How Fat Cells Contribute to Wound Healing

Dr. Shook is working to understand how the myriad of skin cell types interact to efficiently drive stem cell-mediated repair of chronic skin wounds. He is focusing specifically on fat cells, one of the most abundant but overlooked components of skin. His findings show that fat cells change their own gene expression and identity in the presence of wounds and play a crucial role in wound healing. This research has tremendous potential application in the treatment of chronic wounds in diabetic patients.
