Dr. Shoukhrat Mitalipov is a director of Center for Embryonic and Gene Therapy at Oregon Health & Science University. His research is focused on investigating and developing novel cell therapy approaches for treatment of infertility. Another research topic in his laboratory is germ line gene therapy to repair gene defects in gametes or early preimplantation embryos and thus preventing the passage of thousands of heritable genetic disorders from parents to their children. His laboratory pioneered the concept of mitochondrial replacement therapy (MRT) to prevent the transmission of pathogenic mtDNA mutations from mothers to their children.
