Dr Satish Khurana

Biography

Satish is a Wellcome trust-DBT India alliance fellow and an assistant professor at IISER TVM. His lab is interested in understanding the regulatory mechanisms underlying hematopoietic stem cell (HSCs) function.

Research Interest

Regulatory mechanisms underlying hematopoietic stem cell (HSCs) function with major focus on: How the HSC pool is created during development and what are the mechanisms involved in symmetrical divisions? What are the extrinsic regulators that maintain the state of quiescence in adult HSCs? Molecular events that regulate functional changes in HSCs during aging! Bioenergetic profile of the HSC that leads to their differential function in different physiological states! Outside-in integrin signaling in adult and fetal hematopoiesis
