Research

  • Our research program mainly focuses on the role of the hematopoietic niche
    in bone marrow in myeloid leukemia using both mouse models and patient
    materials. Several advanced techniques including multi-color flow cytometry,
    confocal imaging, RNA sequencing and experimental transplantation are
    required for the projects.
    We are aiming to decipher in vivo activities of mesenchymal cell niche in
    bone marrow during normal hematopoiesis and hematological disorders including
    leukemia.
    The potential findings from this research program may help to understand
    cellular mechanisms underlying the regulation of hematopoiesis and to
    develop better therapeutic strategies targeting the bone marrow niche for
    patients with chronic myeloid leukemia or acute myeloid leukemia.
