So many ideas are waiting for the right person to come along and take them off! You are welcome to visit us at our lab meetings to get a sense what we are trying to accomplish and how we plan to do that. We hold our lab meetings at 1:00 pm on Fridays. 

Ongoing projects welcoming rotation students: 

  • Watch how a blood cell turns into induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSC) — yes, this can happen in a few days. You can also “prod” the reprogramming cells chemically or genetically and see how the reprogramming process respond.

  • Use the systems we have set up in the lab to look for chemical compounds that endow cell fate plasticity.
