      Collapse Overview
      The primary goal of our lab is to understand the signaling pathways that regulate the choice between stem cell renewal and commitment, and define how the same signals are subverted in cancer. The lab has three primary areas of interest: analyzing the role of developmental signals in stem cells and cancer, defining mechanisms that initiate stem cell regeneration after injury and developing high-resolution imaging strategies to visualize the behavior of living stem cells during growth, regeneration, and can¬cer formation. These studies have implications not only for understanding the basic mechanisms that regulate normal and oncogenic self-renewal, but also for enhancing stem cell based therapies for human disease.
