Projects
- Hematopoietic Stem Cell Responses to Infection
- My laboratory investigates the effects of infection and inflammation on hematopoietic stem cell biology. These findings will have implications for prevention and treatment of blood disorders related to inflammatory conditions, stem cell transplant outcomes, and immunity.
