CollapseResponsibilities

Senior Staff Scientist Lead planning and execution of major research projects and experiments focused on interactions between hematopoietic stem cells (HSC) and the marrow stromal cell (MSC) niche. Gather and evaluate data to determine results and validate or refute experimental hypotheses. Author publications for peer-reviewed journals. Prepare posters and oral presentations for national and international conferences. Foster adoption of best practices for experimentation and research innovation among technicians and research fellows. Successfully identified key interactions between HSC and MSC niche – including normal stem cell function and maturation, pathogenesis of hematopoietic dysregulation in patients, and introduction of MSC to regenerate organ damage. Demonstrated the lineage of MSC is associated with marrow fibroblasts through partnership with researchers at the University of Washington, and integration of epigenetic analysis (DHS landscape / ENCODE) into experimentation. Conducted screens of human siRNA libraries spanning 2,254 transcription factor genes and 710 human kinome genes, 4 triggers / gene.
