Stefan Karlsson completed his MD degree at The University of Iceland and a PhD degree from University College London. After three years as a postdoctoral fellow with Arthur Nienhuis at The National Institutes of Health (NIH), Bethesda, MD, Dr Karlsson became Chief of The Molecular and Medical Genetics Section, NINDS, NIH. In 1995 he was recruited as a full professor to Lund University Hospital, Lund, Sweden where he is currently the head of the division of Molecular Medicine and Gene Therapy. Dr. Karlsson focuses his work on the regulation of hematopoietic stem cells and the development of stem cell expansion and gene therapy of hematopoietic stem cells.

Clinical gene therapy for inherited immunodeficiencies has been successful in the clinic since approximately 50 patients with these lethal disorders have been treated successfully. To develop gene therapy of hematopoietic stem cells for serious disorders that are not life-threatening, safer vectors and milder bone marrow ablation techniques will need to be developed. This presentation will address how we can use mouse models for Diamond Blackfan anemia and Gaucher disease to develop safe gene therapy for these disorders.
