Michelle Hermiston, MD, PhD focuses on elucidating the impact of immune dysregulation on hematologic disease and translating these findings into clinical use.

Raphael Hirsch, MD studies immune tolerance and inflammatory mediators in autoimmunity.

Edward Hsiao, MD, PhD studies hormonal and genetic regulation of human skeletal diseases.

Guo Huang, PhD studies the cellular and molecular basis of heart regeneration from both evolutionary and developmental perspectives.

Eric Huang, MD, PhD studies the transcriptional control of neural development.

Erica Hutchins, PhD studies how post-transcriptional regulation controls developmental pluripotency and cell fate decisions in vivo, using vertebrate neural crest as a model.

Yuh Nung Jan, PhD identifies genes involved in maintaining adult neural stem cells in mice with the intent of defining their precise functions. With this knowledge, he hopes to develop therapies for neurological disorders, such as Parkinson’s disease.

Leanne Jones, PhD identifies conserved mechanisms that are used to regulate stem cell behavior and characterizes how such mechanisms are altered by aging and changes in metabolism.

Hubert Kim, MD studies the modulation of secondary injury cascades and the application of stem cells to treat traumatic injuries, particularly in tissues that have poor intrinsic healing.

Sarah Knox, PhD studies the role of neuronal-epithelial interactions during organogenesis and regeneration.

Scott Kogan, MD studies leukemia stem cells in mouse models and is interested in devising better therapies that target these cells.

Terumi Kohwi-Shigematsu, PhD studies the role of the protein SATB, which functions as a chromatin organizer, during cell development and cancer metastasis.
