Results for Hematopoiesis

Dr. Tan uses experimental and computational approaches to study normal development and cancer. His laboratory is using the integrative approach to dissect the gene regulatory networks controlling embryonic hematopoiesis, T cell differentiation, and oncogenesis. He is also developing computational algorithms for constructing models of transcriptional regulatory and signaling networks by integrating multi-dimensional genomic, epigenomic, and transcriptomic datasets.

Dr. Thom uses computational and cellular approaches to understand genetic determinants of hematopoiesis. Dr. Thom aims to harness related insights to improve in vitro blood cell production from induced pluripotent stem cells.

Dr. Warren studies normal and aberrant hematopoiesis, with a special interest in granulopoiesis. Her research aims to understand the pathogenesis of severe congenital neutropenia and its risk for malignant transformation. She has a clinical interest in neutropenia syndromes including clinical trials.

Dr. Felix uses molecular, biochemical, cellular and in vivo methods to investigate the pathobiology of leukemias with KMT2A (MLL) translocations. Leukemias with these translocations affect infants and young children or occur as a complication of type II topoisomerase (TOP2) poison chemotherapies used for anti-cancer treatment. She aims to develop better treatment and prevention approaches for these leukemias, which have a poor prognosis.

Dr. Olson aims to improve diagnostics and treatment of bone marrow failure (BMF) syndromes, and to improve clinical hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) outcomes. He conducts clinical trials of HSCT for non-malignant hematologic diseases. His laboratory explores both basic and translational research focused on genomics of BMF and the impact of BMF on hematopoietic niche function during HSCT.

Dr. Gadue studies cell fate decisions, focusing on endoderm and mesoderm specification using human embryonic stem (ES) cells and induced pluripotent stem (iPS).

Adams joined the Kurre Laboratory in 2022 and is working to understand clonal hematopoiesis in Fanconi Anemia to advance understanding of and treatments for pediatric hematological disorders.

Stephanie Hurwitz, MD, PhD, is a research fellow focused on improving understanding of the molecular biogenesis and functions of extracellular vesicles in physiologic and regenerative hematopoietic stem cell biology.

Suying Liu leads the research project into the clonal restraints of hematopoiesis in an inherited bone marrow failure syndrome, Fanconi Anemia, to promote better understanding and treatment of pediatric hematological disorders.
