Abbott Lab
Overview
We investigate and research novel genetic mutations in patients with severe immune problems. We perform experiments that determine how the mutations affect individual genes.
Goals & Benefits
Goals of the Abbott Lab:
2
Understand how genetic mutations identified in humans cause immune system problems.
3
Utilize human immune-disease causing genetic mutations to understand new features of how the immune system works.
4
Determine optimal, personalized ways of treating human immune diseases.
Benefits of the Abbott Lab:
1
Developing optimal treatment strategies for rare genetic diseases can dramatically decrease morbidity and increase life expectancy for patients that suffer from them.
2
Understanding new features of immune system function carries potential for developing new treatments for a variety of diseases that involve the immune system.
3
Understanding the impact of individual genetic variations improves prognosis and treatment decisions for individuals.
