Summary

My broad areas of expertise include human hematopoietic and leukemia stem cell biology. My research is focused on (1) understanding miRNA control of the molecular and signaling pathways that direct the cellular fate of normal and malignant human hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells and (2) elucidating the developmental, cellular and molecular origins of adult and pediatric leukemia. My research is guided by multi-omic analysis of primary patient samples/tissues and utilizes functional genomics in combination with xenotransplantation into immune deficient mice.
