  Research Interest

  Prof. Helen Blau's research area is regenerative medicine with a focus on stem cells. Her research on nuclear reprogramming and demonstrating the plasticity of cell fate using cell fusion is well known and her laboratory has also pioneered the design of biomaterials to mimic the in vivo microenvironment and direct stem cell fate. Current findings are leading to more efficient iPS generation, cell based therapies by dedifferentiation a la newts, and discovery of novel molecules and therapies.

  Research Interest

  We study the genetic networks controlled by regulatory RNAs, such as microRNAs (miRNAs), and currently focus on two complementary aspects of miRNA biology: (1) The roles of miRNAs in modulating the development, function, and pathogenesis of vertebrate immune systems and (2) the mechanisms by which these regulatory RNAs control gene expression.

  Research Interest

  Dr. Nolan's group uses high throughput single cell analysis technology of kinase driven signaling cascades to interrogate autoimmunity, cancer, virology (influenza), bacterial pathogens as well as understanding normal immune system function. Using advanced flow cytometric techniques such as Mass Cytometry and computational biology approaches, we focus on high throughput drug screening, mouse models of disease in patient materials, and understanding disease processes at the single cell level.
