“The lab receives a 5-year, $2 million grant from the National Institutes of Health, NIDDK. This R01 will provide support to decipher one of the central molecular mechanisms used by our bodies to generate blood stem cells. Once understood, this will be manipulated to try to generate human blood stem cells for the purpose of regenerative medicine.”
