The Douglas Gould Lab
Developing mechanism-based interventions for diseases of the extracellular matrix
Our broad mission is to understand the biological functions of a specialized extracellular matrix structure called the Basement Membrane.
Our primary focus is a multi-system disorder that is caused by mutations in the genes encoding type IV collagen alpha 1 (COL4A1) and COL4A2.
Our goal is to understand the tissue-specific molecular mechanisms that underlie this syndrome and develop mechanism-based therapies that can prevent, reduce or delay disease in patients.
