About Me
Michael Rendl is a stem cell biologist studying the function of stem cell niches. A major focus of his work is to uncover how Dermal Papilla and Dermal Sheath cells act as specialized instructive niche cells for hair follicle stem cells during embryonic hair follicle formation and adult hair growth and regeneration.

Research
The Rendl Laboratory studies the formation and function of stem cell niches. Specifically, we utilize genetic mouse models for embryonic hair follicle formation and for adult hair growth and regeneration to uncover how Dermal Papilla (DP) and Dermal Sheath (DS) cells act as specialized niche cells for hair follicle stem cells. A major focus is also to define how DP cells acquire the hair-inducing cell fate in the first place that sets them apart from regular skin fibroblasts. Insights from these studies will reveal general mechanisms on how stem cell niches function and provide a platform for developing hair regenerative therapies.

Industry Relationships
Physicians and scientists on the faculty of the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai often interact with pharmaceutical, device, biotechnology companies, and other outside entities to improve patient care, develop new therapies and achieve scientific breakthroughs. In order to promote an ethical and transparent environment for conducting research, providing clinical care and teaching, Mount Sinai requires that salaried faculty inform the School of their outside financial relationships.
