Funded Activity Summary

The blood stem cell properties of self-renewal and multipotency allows for the constant replenishment of all blood components. Blood cancer stem cells use self-renewal to propagate disease, and can enter a quiescent-dormant phase to evade treatment. My research focuses on the identification and mechanisms of new genes that govern these unique blood stem cell properties, and to investigate whether these genes are also important in blood cancers.
