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.
