Professor of Medicine
Boston University
Boston, Massachusetts, United States
Dr Gustavo Mostoslavsky, MD, PhD, is Professor of Medicine in the Section of Gastroenterology in the Department of Medicine at Boston University School of Medicine and Funder and Co-Director of the BU/BMC Center for Regenerative Medicine (CReM). Dr. Mostoslavsky received his MD from the University of Tucuman in Argentina and his PhD from the Hebrew University in Jerusalem, Israel. His longstanding interest in basic science and regenerative medicine brought him to Harvard Medical School to pursue postdoctoral studies with stem cells and gene therapy. In 2008 Dr. Mostoslavsky opened his own lab at Boston University. His main research interests are stem cells, disease modeling, regenerative medicine, gene correction and lentiviral vectors as tools for gene transfer. Our goal is to study human biology in normal and disease states, through the use of stem cells in general and pluripotent stem cells in particular, with major focuses on gastrointestinal tract, neurodegeneration caused by prion diseases and immunity/inflammation. Taking advantage of our long history of genetic manipulation, we are using gene editing techniques (such as CRISPR based editing) to generate a variety of reporter lines as well as isogenic mutant vs corrected iPSC lines for the study of lineage specification as well as disease modeling.
