Suneet Agarwal is an Associate Professor in the Department of Pediatrics at Boston Children's Hospital. His research focuses on genetic disorders that lead to significant health impacts, particularly in early childhood. He is exploring innovative strategies using stem cell biology to reverse the effects of these disorders by turning back to an embryonic-like state. This involves using skin cells from patients with genetic blood disorders to regenerate different types of cells in the body. His current research interests include the development of small molecules to treat telomere biology disorders, the molecular biology of unknown disease-causing variants using induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs), and engineering techniques for the mitochondrial genome. He aims to uncover new pathways that influence telomere length and explore gene editing methodologies to provide potential cures for inherited conditions, such as bone marrow failure syndromes.
