Summary of Research Studies:
Primary research interest in defining the cellular and molecular nature of the hematopoietic stem cell niche, particularly the molecular cross-talk between stem cells and their niche. First approach a genomic profile of a stem cell supporting stromal cell line. Profile led to mouse models that manipulate and allow visualization of stem cells in their niche. These models are ready for publication and manuscripts are being prepared.
