Emanuela Gussoni Children's Hospital Boston, Boston, MA, USA
Dr. Emanuela Gussoni is an Associate Professor of Pediatrics at Harvard Medical School and an Assistant in Medicine at Children's Hospital Boston. She received her PhD in neuroscience from the University of Milan, Italy. She did her postdoctoral fellowships in the laboratories of Ferdinando Cornelio, MD, at the Carlo Besta Neurological Institute; Helen Blau, PhD, and Larry Steinman, MD, at Stanford University; and Louis Kunkel, PhD, at Children's Hospital Boston. In 2001, Dr. Gussoni started her laboratory at Children’s Hospital Boston.
Dr. Gussoni’s Lab’s long-term goal is to optimize a cell-based therapy for patients with muscular dystrophy. We are now pursuing this goal by optimizing isolation and engraftment of human muscle stem cells, and by creating new animal models for preclinical testing.
