Gerhard Bauer

Dr. Gerhard Bauer conducts research on innovative treatments for neurodegenerative diseases and HIV at the School of Medicine, University of California-Davis. As an Adjunct Professor of Hematology and Oncology, he is deeply involved in the exploration of stem cell therapy and gene therapy, aiming to develop groundbreaking solutions for these challenging medical conditions. At the UC Davis Institute for Regenerative Cures, where he serves as a Laboratory Director, Dr. Bauer leads efforts in advancing stem cell-based therapies. His work is particularly focused on creating therapeutic strategies for Huntington's disease using animal models, and he is actively engaged in the development of gene therapy approaches for severe combined immune deficiency. His research also extends to the production of advanced therapy medicinal products, which are crucial for the progression of regenerative medicine. Dr. Bauer's expertise in generating HIV-1-resistant macrophages from stem cells represents a significant stride in the fight against HIV. This innovative approach holds promise for developing long-lasting treatments that could potentially transform the lives of individuals affected by the virus. His affiliation with the UC Davis Comprehensive Cancer Center and Medical Center underscores his commitment to translating research findings into clinical applications that benefit patients. Throughout his career, Dr. Bauer has been dedicated to pushing the boundaries of medical science, with a particular emphasis on the therapeutic potential of stem cells. His contributions to the field are not only advancing scientific understanding but also paving the way for new treatment paradigms that could revolutionize the management of complex diseases.
