In collaboration with @RocketPharma , we celebrate the first FDA-approved gene therapy supported by @CIRMnews and CA taxpayer funding. #raredisease matters.

The FDA has granted accelerated approval for KRESLADI, a gene therapy for LAD-I — a rare immune disorder that can be fatal in young children. Led by @Kohn_Lab @UCLA, all 9 clinical trial patients survived with restored immune function. 🔗bit.ly/4uVBcfg #GeneTherapy

New long-term follow study for the ADA-SCID lentiviral gene therapy is out! nejm.org/doi/full/10.10…
UCLA Broad Stem Cell@UCLAstemcell
A blood stem cell gene therapy co-developed by @UCLA's Dr. Donald Kohn restored immune function in 59 of 62 children with ADA-SCID, a rare and fatal immune disorder, with no serious complications reported. #ResearchPowersProgress @Kohn_Lab stemcell.ucla.edu/news/gene-ther…

In the news: Five years after receiving #GeneTherapy in a clinical trial led by Dr. Donald Kohn @Kohn_Lab for a life-threatening immune disorder, the Langenhop siblings are now thriving. The family shares their story with @CBSNews. cbsnews.com/news/kids-alwa…

This week, the Kohn lab is coming to New Orleans for #ASGCT2025 ! Another special year for us because our PI is this year’s @ASGCTherapy Founders Award recipient. Don’t miss the Founder’s Keynote tomorrow afternoon! Look out for the 👨🏻#genetherapy #PIDD #raredisease

We’re extremely happy to see 9 children living symptom-free 2 years post-GT. It was a long journey but these LAD-I GT trials emphasize the importance of supporting therapies for rare diseases in our community. #raredisease #genetherapy
UCLA Broad Stem Cell@UCLAstemcell
A new study in @NEJM reports that an investigational gene therapy restored immune function in 9 children with LAD-I, a rare & life-threatening immune disorder. Those children are now living symptom-free 2 years after treatment in clinical trials co-led by @Kohn_Lab @UCLA.

5-year-old Jakob Guziak born with ADA-SCID, a deadly immune disorder, received gene therapy developed by Dr. Donald Kohn @Kohn_Lab. “It’s not just a new life for Jakob, but it's a new life for us as parents,” his mother Andrea Fernandez said. stemcell.ucla.edu/news/after-lif…

Thank you @CIRMnews for your endless support. Facing some adversities, the ADA-SCID gene therapy was on hold. Every year, more parents wonder when their child will get the chance. CIRM is now giving us another opportunity to continue this trial and move towards FDA approval.

A $14.7M @CIRMnews grant will help Dr. Donald Kohn @Kohn_Lab advance a gene therapy for ADA-SCID toward FDA approval, making this life-saving therapy that has so far successfully treated 48 of 50 children in clinical trials, available to kids everywhere. stemcell.ucla.edu/news/donald-ko…

Lead by 4th yr PhD student @C_Luthers31 , we utilized Single-Stranded Virus Seq to determine wide variability in DNA contamination across rAAV preps. We characterized the effects & showed that DNAse treatment on these preps improved our CD34+ HSPC gene editing results.

How do we take the shining example of Emily Whitehead, cured of her pediatric cancer, and scale it?
Dr. Crystal Mackall @MackallLab, Dr Donald Kohn @Kohn_Lab, and a team of fellow SMEs across all facets of the problem space offer an actionable path.

To correct the market failures around pediatric #celltherapies and #genetherapies, Crystal Mackall & colleagues propose a new model to lead late-stage development and commercialize these outside of traditional routes in the US. @MackallLab @StanfordMed nature.com/articles/s4159…

Annual ASGCT Kohn lab (past and present) dinner. It's always great catching up with previous members. Hearing their success stories and how they're leading their own group inspires to us even more to be great in this field. #ASGCT2024
