| Our lab tries to understand the role stem cells play in normal development and disease. Stem cells have the dual potential to self-renew and give rise to differentiated cells. They play key roles in normal development, during tissue homeostasis and following injury in the adult. Moreover, stem cells have been experimentally shown to be the cells of origin in certain types of cancer. To understand the biology of stem cells and to exploit their use for therapy, it is critical to identify and characterize the factors that control the decision between their self-renewal and differentiation under normal physiological conditions and in disease. |
