Science Overcoming Disease
About us
Gladstone's mission is to drive a new era of discovery in disease-oriented science and to mentor tomorrow’s leaders in an inspiring and diverse environment. Although Gladstone shares traits with other top life science organizations, we pride ourselves on taking uncommon scientific paths to overcoming disease. Our investigators are selected to become authorities in leading or creating new fields, and we work to provide them with resources to explore bold new thoughts, form effective scientific teams, and create or master emerging research technologies that accelerate progress—Gladstone’s special recipe for success that has yielded some of the most important biomedical advances of our time. Our three disease-focused institutes constitute the core of our discovery engine, but do not operate in isolation. We are seizing unprecedented opportunities for “convergence”—defined as the blending of intellectual and physical assets from multiple scientific disciplines and fields to speed the discovery process in our attack on unsolved health problems that affect almost every human family.

Every year, nearly 40,000 U.S. babies—or about one in 100—are born with a hole in the wall between their heart’s chambers. For many of them, it can mean a lifetime of surgeries, medications, and careful monitoring. These congenital heart defects are the most common type of birth defect, yet scientists have struggled to understand exactly how this critical wall of muscle, called the interventricular septum, forms during development and why it so often goes wrong. Now, researchers at Gladstone and University of California, San Francisco have discovered that a boundary between two populations of heart cells, established very early in development, acts as a crucial guide for proper heart formation. When this boundary is disrupted, cells mix inappropriately, leading to holes in the interventricular septum and other defects, according to a new study featured on the cover of the January issue of Nature Cardiovascular Research.

Shyam Jinagal is a postdoctoral researcher in Deepak Srivastava’s lab. He grew up in Haryana, in the northern part of India. This area is well known for its sports culture and vibrant traditions. At Gladstone, Jinagal studies how genetic and age-related changes drive aortic valve disease, seeks to uncover why the adult heart loses its ability to regenerate, and ultimately aims to uncover how these processes might be reversed to restore heart function after injury.
