our vision
we study stem cells of the blood
and its immune, vascular, and bone niches. The grand challenge of creating tissues from stem cells is driven by our desire to impact human health by
understanding
disease
finding new
treatments
Alleviating injury
and aging

our approach
we fuse computational and experimental techniques
stem cells
Stem cells give us a glimpse into how the body works. They can turn into any cell type, but we don’t fully understand how they “decide” what to become.
Systems biology
By cataloging all of the parts of the cell and how they work together as a system, we can start to understand and predict how stem cells make those decisions.
Tissue Engineering
We can then assemble stem cells into tissues in the lab. The more natural configuration allows the cells to look and act more like they do in the body.
