Every process in our body is mediated by highly orchestrated cellular cross-talk. We are interested in understanding how the cellular dialog is established, maintained, and altered by stress. Our research program is bridging rigorous genomic studies of the bone marrow niche with clinical outcomes to devise rational and targeted therapies via the following three directions:

RESEARCH

Stress-mediated Bone Marrow Niche remodeling
Leukemic Niche
In and Out of the Bone
