About Me

My laboratory is studying both the basic biology and molecular mechanisms that make a hematopoietic stem cell a self-renewing stem cell that sustains our blood system throughout life. We do this by investigating these properties in model systems and by trying to convert other cell types into hematopoietic stem cells for eventual therapeutic uses. https://neuroscience.mssm.edu/DLabs/labs/lm.html

Summary of Research Studies: Primary research interest is in defining the cellular and molecular nature of the hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) and in particular the molecular cross-talk between stem cells and their niche. Approach is to use mouse models to study HSC during normal homeostasis and after stress. Also using specific factors to directly induce HSCs from somatic cells to develop patient specific stem cells and differentiated blood products for cell replacement therapies.
