Research Interest
We use genetics and genomics tools to probe physiological gene function and to discover genes controlling blood cell production and activity. Through strong collaborations with other laboratories, particularly within the Cancer and Haematology and Molecular Medicine divisions, we apply a multidisciplinary approach to dissect the biology, biochemistry, molecular biology and genetics of regulators of blood cells. Major areas of interest include: Cytokine control of blood cell production and function, particularly the roles of the thrombopoietin (TPO). Molecular regulation of platelet production and haematopoietic stem cells. Genetics and genomics of leukaemia.
