Cytokine Signaling in Normal and Malignant Hematopoietic Stem/Progenitor Cells

Dysregulation of signaling pathways that control hematopoietic stem cell expansion leads to leukemia. We aim to investigate novel signaling molecules for their roles in regulating stem cell expansion in normal and malignant blood development. Our studies may provide new insights into strategies to treat malignant and nonmalignant blood cell disorders.
