1 Genetic Manipulation of Mouse ES Cells toward a Specific Neuronal Fate Anne Chiaramello, Ph.D Associate Professor George Washington University Medical Center Department of Anatomy and Cell Biology Tel: 202-994-2173 anaaec@gwumc.edu NIH/NINDS R01NS041391 June 27, 2007

2 Neural Cell Lineage Neural Stem Cell Progenitor Cell Neuroblast Inhibitory Neuron (GABAergic) Projection Neuron (Glutamatergic) OligoAstrocytes Glioblast LIF ? Objective To direct neural fate of mouse ES Cells by genetic manipulation for cell replacement therapies in the context of specific neurodegenerative disorders and CNS injuries. Embryonic Stem Cell bFGF
