STEM CELLS AND HEMATOPOIESIS
Research
is being conducted in areas of stem cell isolation, quantitation by in
vivo assay, in vitro and in vivo growth and replication,
gene insertion, and engraftment. Acquired knowledge can be applied clinically
to enhance our ability to achieve successful hematopoietic stem cell therapy
to cure both genetic and acquired diseases and to perform successful gene
therapy using the hematopoietic stem cell as the target for gene transfection
and for life-long expression of normal genes.
