target="_blank">Alex Marson’s lab</a> is to understand the genetic circuits that control the function of cells in the human immune system, especially T cells. Marson and colleagues have developed new tools to accomplish efficient genome engineering in primary human immune cells with CRISPR. With this technology scientists can now readily rewrite specific sequences in human cells and interrogate the biological effects. These advances in genome editing will accelerate fundamental insights into how immune cells are “wired” and have potential to enhance the next generation of cell- based immunotherapies for cancer, infectious diseases, organ transplantation, and autoimmune diseases.</p> </div> <div id="dis-tise" class="row"> <div class="col-sm-6"> <h3 class="orange">Disease Areas</h3> <div class="field field--name-field-disease-area field--type-string field--label-hidden field__items"> <div class="field__item">Autoimmune Diseases</div> <div class="field__item">Cancer Immunotherapies</div> <div class="field__item">HIV/AIDS</div> <div class="field__item">Infectious Diseases</div> <div class="field__item">Inflammation</div> </div> </div> <div class="col-sm-6"> <h3 class="orange">Areas of Expertise</h3> <div class="field field--name-field-areas-of-expertise field--type-string field--label-hidden field__items"> <div class="field__item">CRISPR Genome Engineering</div> <div class="field__item">Functional Genomics</div> <div class="field__item">Human Genetics</div> <div class="field__item">Immunology</div> <div class="field__item">Immunotherapy Design</div> <div class="field__item">CAR T Cells</div> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="lab-focus"> <div class="focus-img-bk"> <div class="focus-image"> <img src="/sites/default/files/user-pics/AlexMarsonLabFocus.jpg" alt="Working in the Marson lab" /> </div> </div> <div class="focus-points"> <h3>Lab Focus</h3> <div class="field field--name-field-lab-focus field--type-string-long field--label-hidden field__items"> <div class="field__item">Developing new tools for efficient genome engineering and forward genetic studies in primary human immune cells.</div> <div class="field__item">Pursuing a comprehensive strategy to test how coding and non-coding DNA sequences control functional programs in the immune system.</div> <div class="field__item">Engineering immunotherapies that tune immune cell function to treat cancer, autoimmune diseases, inflammation, and infections.</div> <div class="field__item">Performing functional genetic studies of host-pathogen interactions in primary human immune cells.</div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="container"> <div class="impact"> <h3>Research Impact</h3> <div class="clearfix text-formatted field field--name-field-research-impact field--type-text-long field--label-hidden field__item"><p>Marson’s team is pioneering new CRISPR gene-editing technologies that offer faster, cheaper and more precise ways to re-write DNA programs in human immune cells. With these tools, the lab is engineering cells to treat a wide range of diseases. They are designing programs to make cells that can recognize and eliminate cancer, cells that are resistant to infections like HIV, and cells that can reduce inflammation in autoimmune diseases like multiple sclerosis, type 1 diabetes, and rheumatoid arthritis.

His own laboratory team comprises scientists from the fields of genomics, immunology, infectious diseases, and genome engineering.</p> <p>Marson launched his research career at UC San Francisco in 2012, focusing on using CRISPR to get inside human immune cells and amplify their disease-fighting capabilities. In 2020, he joined Gladstone Institutes to direct the Gladstone-UCSF Institute of Genomic Immunology. Here, his team is genetically modifying cells to create “living medicines” that can fight cancer, infectious diseases, and autoimmune diseases.</p> <p>After earning an MPhil in biological sciences from Cambridge University in 2003, Marson complemented that with a PhD in biology from Whitehead Institute at MIT in 2008. There he worked closely with two pioneers of gene regulation, Rudolf Jaenisch and Rick Young. Two years later, he completed his MD at Harvard Medical School, followed by an internship and residency at Boston’s Brigham and Women’s Hospital.</p> <p>Marson serves as the scientific director for biomedicine at the Innovative Genomics Institute, founded by Nobel laureate Jennifer Doudna. He is a director of the Parker Institute for Cancer Immunotherapy at Gladstone Institutes and was chosen one of the inaugural investigators at the Chan Zuckerberg Biohub. Marson also co-founded Arsenal Bio, Site Tx, Survey Genomics, and Spotlight Therapeutics, and he serves on the scientific advisory boards for Amgen, NewLimit and Tenaya Therapeutics.</p> </div> <div class="why-gladstone"> <h3>What Keeps You Inspired about Your Research?</h3> <p>“I am inspired by the brilliant, creative and collaborative group of scientists in the lab – undergraduates, technicians, graduate students, postdocs and professional staff – that work together across disciplines.
