Hematopoeisis

Rodney DeKoter, PhD
Dr. DeKoter's laboratory studies transcription factors that regulate the development and function of the immune system
H. Leighton Grimes, PhD
Dr. Grimes' work centers on the Growth factor independence-1 transcription factor. We will be pursuing the activation of the Gfi1 gene by signals from the Interleukin-7 receptor, and how Gfi1 then regulates the IL7Ralpha gene.
David A. Williams, MD
Dr. Williams' laboratory studies the function of the Ras-related Rho GTPases in hematopoiesis and immune cell function. In addition, the laboratory has a long standing interest in gene transfer/gene therapy of hematopoietic and immne deficiency diseases using viral vectors.
