Funded Activity Summary

GENOMIC/PHENOMIC IDENTIFICATION AND CHARACTERISATION OF NOVEL HEMATOPOIETIC REGULATORS. Blood cells are fundamental to health. They play a vital role in maintaining the condition of tissues and organs, fight infections and are essential players in the body's response to injury. Understanding how blood cells are produced and how they function is critical to improving the treatment of disease. With the sequencing of the genome, we now have the tools we need to find the genes controlling these processes. This project will harness the power of modern genetic technologies to dissect the role of novel genes involved in blood cell formation and function, and will open up new therapeutic opportunities for treating the many diseases associated with dysregulation of this important cell system.
