The PACE lab led by Ralf Jauch plays with the molecular switches that turn one cell into another cell. One of our aims is to make ‘old stem cells’ that help us to study aging and related diseases. Analogously we aim to decouple cell fate transitions from rejuvenation as safe way to repair tissues and organs. Our vision is that we can generate such cells with new methods to program the state and identity of cells - for example empowered by engineered proteins and RNAs, comprehensive factor libraries and the directed evolution in mammalian cells.
