Ashish Deshwar is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Molecular Genetics and the Department of Paediatrics at the University of Toronto. His research focuses on CRISPR-Cas9 genome engineering and its applications in developmental biology and the study of rare diseases. The Deshwar lab's main theme is to exploit spontaneous variations seen in rare genetic disorders to advance human health. The lab studies rare genetic liver disorders to identify disease mechanisms and therapeutic strategies that can be applied to the broader population. A significant interest of the lab is leveraging various disease models to discover novel genetic disorders and expand the diagnostic toolkit for genetic diseases. The lab utilizes zebrafish model systems along with human induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC) derived cells to complement in vivo and in vitro studies, respectively.
