Thea Tlsty, PhD studies the identity and role of cancer stem cells in the development and progression of breast cancer. She also has a research program on the characterization of genomic instability in cancer initiation and progression.
Erik Ullian, PhD studies the cell extrinsic and intrinsic mechanisms that regulate synapse number and function, particularly the role of glial cells in regulating neuronal synapse formation and function.
Dan Wagner, PhD studies the molecular mechanisms of tissue patterning and error correction in vertebrate embryos using high-throughput single-cell profiling, in vivo imaging, and functional genomics. Visit the Wagner lab website.
Mark Walters, MD develops and expands curative therapies for hemoglobin disorders and non-malignant hematopoietic disorders. He pursues genomic editing of the sickle mutation in hematopoietic stem cells using the CRISPR/Cas9 ribonucleoprotein system.
Holger Willenbring, MDexplores the way liver cells differentiate and regenerate with the goal of correcting liver diseases using cells derived from stem cells or by reprogramming hematopoietic cells.
Yerem Yeghiazarians, MDis an adult interventional cardiologist studying the transplantation of embryonic and adult stem cells into rodent and pig hearts after injury. He is also involved in clinical trials using interventional catheter approaches.
