Research in my laboratory seeks to discover the cause of disease in children with rare and previously undiagnosed genetic problems with their blood cells (hematopoietic system), including platelets, red and white blood cells that often present as immune defects or cancer. This new understanding will provide us with novel insights into the normal function of the hematopoietic system and help us better understand what's wrong with cancer cells leading eventually to new therapies.
