The Cooney research group focuses on the transcriptional regulation of pluripotent stem cells as they exist in their undifferentiated state or any of the many potential differentiated states. What makes these cells unique is their ability to differentiate into many cell types of the body. Their potential uses are in regenerative medicine to treat debilitating diseases. Since coming to Dell Med School, his group has embarked on the generation of patient specific induced pluripotent stem cells with other UT and Seton collaborators. These cells can be used to model human diseases with the ultimate goal of creating therapies.
